What is Yours, Mine, and Ours : How Families Change When Remarried Parents Have a Child Together about?

<p>Based on the author's experience as a family therapist and stepmother,<br>and on interviews with more than fifty families, this book explores the ramifications for all concerned&#151;remarried parents, his children, her children, and their baby&#151;of having a mutual child.</p> <h3>Publishers Weekly</h3> <p>Bernstein ( The Flight of the Stork ) here provides a needed book on mixed-family households. The author is a family therapist in Berkeley, Calif., also a stepmother of two and mother of ``ours,'' the child born to her and her husband. In a well-organized and admirably clear text, she combines material on her own home life with interviews with parents, steps and half-siblings. Humanizing bald statistics, Bernstein creates awareness of how divorce affects today's children and those responsible for their care. Sustaining harmony in households made up of offspring of previous and current marriages can be a trial, notes Bernstein, whose empathetic counsel should prove helpful. Her graceful revelations of ``fragile and interchangeable families'' will have wide appeal. (Feb.)</p>
