Michaele-Lynne Jacot had never given a thought to writing a book, however, she had been inspired to write and journal more now that she was part of a blended family. The poems came together quickly, and she soon decided to attend a book publishing class. Miss Jacot hopes to touch stepmoms and other women all over the country (and maybe the world ), who experience the day to day happenings of blended family life. Perhaps it will also catch the eyes of someone like Ellen (who would be great for publicity ) The poems are in print as they were written chronologically and it is quite possible there will be more books in the future It is truly hoped that these poems bring your joy, comfort, and a sense of knowing that you are not alone on this journey
