Part memoir, part encouragement, The Not-So-Wicked Stepparent shares Sherrie Mackelprang's real-life experiences as both a stepchild and a stepmother. Using the metaphor of a roller-coaster ride, she recounts the funny, frustrating, and tender moments of blending a family—from the Potato Incident to spirit-prison confessions to prayerful breakthroughs. Rather than a rigid do's-and-don'ts manual, she offers 'power tools' like prayer, family home evening, incentives, and unity in marriage. Faith-filled and disarmingly honest, it reassures stepparents they aren't wicked—and aren't alone.

  • Reframes the 'wicked stepmother' fairy tale for real families who are doing their best
  • Written by someone who lived it from both sides—as a stepchild AND a stepmother
  • Not a lecture: short, funny, honest stories a tired stepparent can read in one sitting
  • Faith-centered 'power tools' including prayer, FHE, and unity in marriage
“After all, wickedness is a choice, not a policy.”

Perfect for a Latter-day Saint stepparent—likely a stepmother—feeling overwhelmed and alone who wants reassurance, humor, and faith-based encouragement rather than a clinical how-to manual.
