New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
The blended family is a new norm in our culture and world. It involves so many difficult challenges and complexities in the search for ways to promote healthy parenting, love, safety, healing, and structure. Gary Chapman and Ron Deal have written the best book I have read on the subject... Chapter 1 alone is worth the price of the book. Highly recommended.
