About the Author

Margit Bernard was born in Czechoslovakia; her comfortable childhood was interrupted when she became a refugee during the Russian occupation of her country in World War II. She has been a fashion model in London, a business owner in Los Angeles, and a corporate administrator in Paris. Ms. Bernard has a degree in Psychology from USC and serves on the Board of Directors of The Cotsen Foundation for The Art of Teaching. Ms. Bernard lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two Labrador Retrievers. She is the stepmother of seven, and stepgrandmother of 14. Step Back: A Stepmother's Handbook is her first book. Developmental book editor Alexandra Leh brings to every project over 30 years of storytelling experience as a writer, actor, producer, and executive in network television development. She recently edited ONE TON GOLDFISH: IN SEARCH OF THE TANGIBLE DREAM by Houston-based artist and author Justin Garcia, and produces content for THE GEORGE BARNES LEGACY COLLECTION, a comprehensive multimedia property celebrating the life and music of the electric guitar pioneer and musical innovator. She co-wrote YASHKA, a feature screenplay based on the epic life story of Russian war heroine Maria Botchkareva. As an independent producer with Goldie Hawn's Cosmic Entertainment, Alexandra developed THE CANNABIS CLUB, a two-hour drama that explores the medical marijuana issue for HBO. Also with the Cosmic team, she developed THE HILL, a half-hour pilot based on the lives of DC interns for Showtime. STEP BACK: A STEPMOTHER'S HANDBOOK by Margit Eva Bernard is Alexandra's most recent work. Alexandra is a New York City native and lives in Downtown Los Angeles.

Reviews

"I am convinced that this is an important book that serves an unmet need. Indeed, Ms. Bernard is writing about a subject that clearly needs to be discussed openly, but rarely is." - T. A. Barron, author, The Lost Years of Merlin and The Great Tree of Avalon "...a lovely blend of personal experience, action and reflection by Ms. Bernard through years of being a stepmother...filled with useful observations, human experiences and wise comments." - Mary Rourke, reporter, journalist and author, Two Women of Galilee "In STEP BACK, Margit Eva Bernard has masterfully captured the essence of what it is to be a stepmother. With poetry and insights, her prescription to "step back" leads us from hurt to healing, and finally, to acceptance. A must-read for every stepparent." - Vicki Reynolds, former mayor of Beverly Hills, civic leader, philanthropist
