Jenny Fairchild is content with her life as a single woman, mother of two grown children, and co-owner of Changing Woman, a small but esteemed gallery of Native American art in Kansas City. She worries about her daughter's promiscuity and her son's insensitivity, but for the most part her routine is just the way she wants it-uncomplicated. Then handsome young artist Ty Red Bird enters her door, and her peaceful life is turned upside down. Ridiculed by her ex-husband and her children, she questions her own judgment even as she defends her interest in Ty. Their relationship alternately blooms and falters as Jenny battles with her pride. Ty, on the other hand, has no doubts about his feelings for the lovely Jenny. He can only hope that with time and patience, she will learn the true meaning and nature of "Changing Woman."

Extensively updated with expanded and newly added chapters, the second edition of Competence in Interpersonal Conflict continues to present a conceptual framework for why communication competence is central to conflict management. Although no checklist of communication behaviors can guarantee success, the authors offer constructive guidelines that provide a basis for grappling with future conflicts in five unique settings: intercultural, organizational, familial, mediation, and violence in intimate relationships. Within any conflict interaction adept communicators embrace the notion that adopting an ethical stance is both desirable and practical. Conflict between people is a natural feature of the human condition; when people interact and form relationships, conflicts inevitably emerge. How individuals manage conflict, and how they perceive both the opportunities and challenges it provides, will define their interpersonal relationships in more ways than any other kind of interaction behavior. Collaboration and adaptation are the hallmarks of a competent communicator, therefore how partners communicate during conflict can be more important than the frequency of their disagreements.
