“Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . .

—Claire Berman (20th century)
“Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.”
