Blissfully blended bullshit : the uncomfortable truth of blending families / by Eckler, Rebecca,author.;
"Blissfully Blended Bullshit is a witty, engaging, refreshingly candid chronicle of a modern family's journey as they blend households. We follow Eckler as her partner and two children move in with her and her daughter. Then, thanks to a reverse vasectomy, they add a baby to the mix. Readers go along for the ride in this poignant, often hilarious tale as everyone attempts to navigate their new roles: the children, the in-laws, the exes, the ex-in-laws, and even the dog. Lighthearted and intimate, this is an indispensable story of a family determined to make blended splendid, and the juicy truth of what it's really like behind closed doors in what is rapidly becoming a typical family makeup. Still, if Eckler had to blend again, would she?"-- Page [4] of cover.

The Satisfaction Café : a novel / by Wang, Kathy,author.;
"Joan's life is a series of unexpected events: she never thought she would live in California, nor did she expect her first marriage to implode -- especially as quickly and spectacularly as it did. She definitely did not expect to fall in love with an older, wealthy American man and become his fourth wife and mother to his youngest children. Joan and her children grow older, and one day she makes a drastic change: she opens the Satisfaction Café, a place where customers can find connection through conversation. With humor and grace, Joan creates a space for meaningful relationships and constructs a lasting legacy."--
