Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:Now available for the first time as an eBook, the dynamic debut novel from beloved New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer explores the steep challenges of a woman trying to do what??s best??for her family and for herself.
 
/> Zelda Campbell was just a college student when she met and fell in love with her professor; they married before she graduated. Zelda??s love for Charlie was wonderfully passionate??though it came with extras: his daughters Caroline and Cathy. And so begins Zelda??s dramatic roller-coaster ride in step-parenting (aka ??stepping?), marked by joyous highs and tear-stained lows. As Zelda struggles in her new role, the young girls are constant reminders of Charlie??s past life. Further, Charlie??s shrill ex-wife is a demanding presence Zelda cannot ignore.
 
Fast-forward thirteen years, and Zelda and Charlie now have two children of their own. A Fulbright scholarship sends the family to Finland, where Charlie lives out his academic dream and Zelda must once again put her own aspirations on hold. But then an attractive man from her past enters the picture, offering the enticing prospect of an entirely different life. Given the opportunity to choose the road not taken, Zelda must evaluate her life and at last decide where her heart truly lies.
 
Includes a captivating preview of Nancy Thayer??s upcoming novel Nantucket Sisters!

Stepping by Nancy Thayer
This story starts out with living in Finland. She is there with
her husband who is a professor. The two young children keep her busy and she's able to give them to another for an hour a day to keep her sanity.
Story goes back in time to when Charlie had married and had 2 girls, got divorced as met a studen he fell in love with. The farm belonged to her after her father had died.
Zelda tends to the girls that come to visit for the summer along with the letter of what they must eat every day.
Story follows her life as she steps through different phases, one is teaching English and the twists and turns that occur at that time...and is the stepmother of the 2 girls that come to visit.
Loved hearing about all the new places and their traditions. Relationships Zelda has with step girls is quite unique, roller coaster at times.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )
