Few of us realize the power that in-laws exert over our lives. <em>What Do You Want from Me?</em> takes a fresh look at how the in-laws we acquire when we marry affect our quality of life--our marriage, family, personal comfort, and long-term well-being--for better or worse. Here is an essential book for husbands and wives, parents and children, seeking to strengthen the bonds of family.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A keenly perceptive interpretation of the kinship structures, 'fracture lines, ' and recurrent emotions--resentment, ambivalence, acceptance--that are part and parcel of the in-law experience.-- "The Atlantic"<br><br>With professional grace, Apter exposes the emotional minefields that couples often navigate around in-laws, and the ease with which they become stuck in negative (and familiar) attitudes toward them.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br>
