At thirty-five, she fell in love with a Southern man who came with two small versions of himself and an ex-wife. Soon after saying I DO, Ms. Rose moved to Austin, Texas with her "instant" family. In 2006, she launched Stepmother's Milk, a blog and resource site for new stepmoms. Today, Stepmother's Milk is part of a greater online stepmom community with a growing presence, and Izzy Rose one of the Queen StepMums. The Package Deal is her first book.
