Overview

This book was written as a springboard to assist blended/stepfamilies to realize their greatness by offering each member of this new family system a step-by-step process of overcoming some of the challenges that exist in integrating different personalities and traditions that come with the merging of this family system.

Description
My desire is that this book will offer its readers a simplistic, practical, therapeutic and spiritual perspective on handling some of the complex challenges that the blended family will face through the integration process, as they are able to view the blended family not only as a component that is just surviving but one that is also thriving as the main family structure in the 21st century.
