A Journey through the World of Cancer
According to the National Cancer Institute, one in every two men and one in every three women in America will be diagnosed with cancer. Fifteen hundred Americans die of this disease every day.

“Fletcher’s excellent what-to-expect guide is perfect for women who were single with no kids before they married into stepchildren. Anecdotes and snippets from stepfamily experts are conversational yet illuminating.” – Douglas C. Lord, Library Journal

“In my professional life as a family scientist and stepfamily researcher, and in my personal life as a stepfamily member, I have had the opportunity to review many and varied forms of resources. Jacquelyn Fletcher’s book is utterly unique – and necessary … The approach she takes is absolutely unprecedented. She combines real women’s experiences, research information, and a businesswoman’s framework in order to provide a strategy-focused approach to building a loving, nurturing marriage and stepfamily. Jacque brings research-validated information to life through her own stories and the stories of the wonderful women you will read about. In doing so, she also fills in the gaps on yet to be discovered research information. What she taps so well are the identity issues that single, childfree, career women turned stepmoms wrestle with. We have not yet begun to tap this through formal research. Her and her group of experts’ insights are powerful, touching, and enlightening.”
– Francesca Adler-Baeder, Ph.D., Executive Director, The National Stepfamily Resource Center Director, Center for Children, Youth, and Family Department of Human Development and Family Studies, Auburn University, Alabama
