Jessica, The reason for the change in authorship between the two editions is that, unfortunately, Mary Kroeger died after the first edition was published. I know Linda has been working very hard on updating the second edition, and I'm sure it is a worthwhile purchase.

I'm leaning toward the current edition, but is there any reason to get the 2003 instead? I can't afford both at this time.
