Step Out, Step Mum

The path of blended families is one that is laced with challenges, especially in a society such as ours that is heavily steeped in religion and culture. Both of which are veritable tools of conditioning. The very idea of marriage suggests a form of forever; so whether by death or divorce – it’s usually a tough sell to remarry for one spouse or “fill in the shoes” for the other spouse.

Adeola Kingsley-James bares it all in this explosive, jaunty and ridiculously sincere book; Step Up Step Mum.
She shares practical insights and first-hand experiences as a wife, mother and stepmother in a blended family.

The book contains thirteen chapters of riveting storytelling and perspective that will serve as a playbook, especially for women who struggle with navigating the sometimes harsh terrains of blended families. The pressure to perform and people-please usually drives step-mums into behaviours that do not serve them, their families and the wider society. This book is a treasure trove of wisdom and vulnerability in equal measure. Adeola literally left no stone unturned in ensuring that her mistakes become veritable learnings for others
