Where do I find the book "Adult Stepfamilies"

I was reading one of the other entries and it mentioned a book by Grace Gabe and another author. Where do I find this book. My husband of 1 year now has 3 daughters. The oldest treats me ok, the youngest doesn't really come around a lot but the middle daughter who by the way is in her 30's and has 3 daughters of her own is causing as much tension as she can between my husband and I. I can see what she is doing but he seems to be oblivious to the fact she is trying to cause trouble. Will this book help? Thank you.

This is the best book on the subject and I know would be a useful resource for you. It is called STEPWARS - Overcoming the Perils and Making Peace in Adult Stepfamilies. By Grace Gabe, M.D., and Jean Lipman-Blumen, PH.D. You can get it on amazon.com
Best of luck!
