About this listen
The truth is, nobody dreams of marrying a man with an ex-wife and pre-made kids. The reality is, it happens anyway.
What to Expect When You Weren’t Expecting chronicles Jyl Barlow’s bumpy road to success as a (step)mother. Shared are the struggles of being inserted into an existing family still sitting within the emotional woodchipper of divorce. Jyl shares real-world lessons, not the mumbo-jumbo one can receive for the low price of a co-pay.
This memoir is both raw and hilarious, as it offers a critical understanding of just how difficult it is for (step)mothers to dive headfirst into a role in which they are typically not welcome while also recognizing that laughter is a totally acceptable way of coping. If you are a member of a blended family or know someone who is, this book will serve as a sanity saver, offering endless reassurance and companionship. This memoir is meant to be shared among husbands, in-laws, (step)children, and, well, maybe ex-wives.
While the book was written by Jyl Barlow, she enlisted her husband for additional vocals. This creates a personal, humorous touch that leaves listeners feeling like they are chatting with a longtime friend.
