The Stepfather's Handbook

Nearly four decades ago, I married a woman with two kids. Shortly after, my stepdaughter Jessica handed me a booklet she'd made — her official rules for how to be a proper stepdad. It is one of my most cherished possessions.

We turned it into this book so every new dad can benefit from her wisdom. We've left blank pages at the end for your own children to add rules specific to your situation — because every family deserves its own handbook.

Dedicated to Jessica (aka: Brat). My threat of one day publishing this is now complete.
