Reviews

"If current trends continue, by the year 2000 there will be more stepfamilies than any other kind of family in America," and Estess's clearly written manual should be required reading for all of them. As a founding editor of Sylvia Porter's Personal Finance magazine who is 15 years into her second marriage, Estess tackles the difficulties of building trust and communication for those who have had bitter financial experiences in previous unions. Within the context of the unique circumstances surrounding remarriage, she deals with everything from prenuptial agreements to estate planning. Interviews with over 100 remarried couples provide illustrations of creative ways of resolving problems. "When There's Not Enough" confronts the fact that stepfamilies tend to have significantly lower incomes. Replete with lists of pitfalls, warning signs that one partner is having difficulty with current arrangements, and options for tackling almost every situation. This is highly recommended for all libraries.
