ENDORSEMENTS

“The list of people I trust to speak practically and intelligently to blended family couples and ministry leaders is short; Gayla Grace is on the list. Gayla’s writing and speaking is a wonderful blend of proven knowledge (she’s done her homework) and practical life wisdom (she’s been there, done that) that offers stepcouples and their children hope, survival skills, and encouragement. I highly recommend her.”
