She describes STEPDOG as "a love story, sort of." "Eddie, my husband's dog, behaved like a jealous mistress when we met. He kept at it -- through the courtship, after the wedding, right now. There are worse dogs than Eddie -- dogs that eat shoes or bite people. Eddie just tried to ruin my marriage. I had to show him who was top dog."

It includes advice from environmental experts and interviews with couples who share their experiences in planning a green celebration.
