		<description>Congrats Izzy!  The insta-mother-figure role is a challenge at the best of times, with potentially jarring realities.  It&#039;s inspiring to see somebody thrive in the context.

As an engaged step-mom to be without prior kids - Cheers!</description>

		<description>I have never posted on your site (or any other), even though I have been reading many of them for about a year!  I am about to move in with my boyfriend, who has two kids (a boy, 3, and a girl, 6).  Your website is amazing and so smart - it makes me think and smile all the time.  I am so happy you are getting to share you story with other people, and I will definitely be pre-ordering it on Amazon.  Congratulations!</description>

		<description>Thank you all so very much for the support! It is exciting, scary and a bit unbelievable to me still, but mostly exciting. I will keep you posted on events and readings as we get closer to the pub date.
