Praise for No One's the Bitch: A Ten-Step Plan for the Mother and Stepmother Relationship…

"A really interesting walkthrough; a ten-step plan that’s well thought-out and experience-based...a giant step in resolving this problem"- Dr. Phil McGraw, on "The Dr. Phil Show" / December 1, 2009 “Bitch is a worthy, energetic workbook . . . Chatty and funny, it provides useful ideas (e.g., make small offerings) and sound how-to (e.g., greet each other when the kids swap houses).” - Library Journal

"These straight-shooting, truth-talking, soul-baring women have their priorities right: When mom and stepmom are on the same page everyone wins, most especially the kids! If more parents could do as authors Jennifer and Carol have done, our courts would be far emptier, our kids would be far healthier and and all of our futures would be brighter!"- Benjamin D. Garber, Ph.D., www.healthyparent.com, author of Keeping Kids Out Of The Middle

"Finally! A must-read user's guide for every woman involved in a stepmother/ex-wife relationship. With humor, insight, and unflinching honesty, Jennifer and Carol take you through the process of making one of the the trickiest relationships in our culture infinitely easier. Leave the snarking behind!  This book will give you the tools to move on and glory in some newfound possibilities."--Katherine Shirek Doughtie, author of Aphrodite in Jeans: Adventure Tales about Men, Midlife, and Motherhood
