Tales of Virtuous Stepmothers

One anthology dares to ask “What if stepmoms aren't terrible?”

These stories feature heroic stepmothers, supportive stepmothers to heroic stepchildren, and heroic women who become stepmothers somewhere along the way. They're written for adults who grew up on anti-stepmom propaganda and are maybe stepmoms themselves, rather than meant to be read to/with stepkids.

Most of the stories are pretty short but the story “The Bird of Many Voices” is more novella length. It's about a bird in an abusive relationship. Some readers may want to skip that one, but it's very well done.

Many of the stories feature good disability rep.
