Kathryn Elizabeth Jones Author of "A River of Stones" A Novel for Young Adults A River of Stones chronicles the pain of divorce and growing up in the life of a young, adolescent girl. Penned with the heart of experience, the author touches the deepest recesses of a young girl's hopes, dreams, and fears as she searches for answers no one has been willing to give her. From the pain of losing a parent to divorce, to the joy of hopeful possibility, Kathryn Jones takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery and promise. Samantha is a young girl who finds her world turned upside down in one brief moment. Her secure world is shaken with the abrupt departure of her father. Left behind with no explanations, she takes solace in her two best friends, Bruce and June. She is soon faced with a myriad of changes, including a new stepfather and a stepbrother she didn't want. Over the next two years, as she rapidly approaches adolescence, lonely young Sam discovers a world that holds pain and bitterness, as well as love, and is introduced to a mysterious book that could change her life.

Stepfamilies Helping Children with Stepfamilies Insights Into Childhood By Fred Rogers with Barry Head Stepparents and Loyaties When a child moves in with a stepparent, or a stepparent moves in with a child, we can be sure that everyone who's a part of that family is going to have some new, strong feelings to deal with. A stepparent usually arrives in a child's life following a loss like a divorce or a death. And of course, such losses give rise to a lot of grief and anger. While working on those feelings, a child may draw more dependently close to the parent he or she lives with. If it's the father who has gone, a child may see Mommy as more "mine" than ever. (That sense of tight togetherness came through in a letter we received from a child not long ago who said: "I live with my mommy. We are divorced from my father".) A home with grief, anger and possessiveness would be a hard one for anyone to enter, let alone a stepparent who is likely to introduce a new set of conflicts over loyalty.

JoAnn's parents separated when she was a baby. When she was 4, her mother remarried. Her mother described her daughter's reactions like this, "JoAnn had a very hard time accepting my new husband into our family. She would tell him she hated him and that she wanted him to go away. We tried to acknowledge her feelings, but we also told her that my new husband was here to stay."

Remarriage rates are twice as high for men as for women. Each year, 11% of lone parents marry or start a co-habiting relationship. 90% of remarriages occur after the couples co-habit for a significant period. 30% of women born after 1946 will spend some part of their adult lives living in a stepfamily. At last count, there are about 26 versions of 'step' relationships, involving different combinations of single, divorced and widowed people. 10% of children live with one birth parent and one step-parent. First, here's a definition. Stepfamilies consist of married or co-habiting ('living together') couples who, between them, have at least one child from a previous relationship who either visits or lives with them. Stepfamilies have been saddled with a less than flattering image. In classic fairy tales such as 'Cinderella' and 'Snow White', we have been presented with wicked stepmothers and unpleasant stepsisters. The stepfamilies that feature prominently in television soap operas are usually characterised by arguments, fist fights and family breakdown. Perhaps this is why, in North America, the term 'blended family' instead of 'stepfamily' is gaining currency.
