About this title

From Library Journal:

Rachel V. says that this book was ``shaped rather than written.'' But in stead of evangelism one finds a fasci nating collection of women telling their stories. Twenty women from diverse walks of life talk to the reader in simple, direct language of their drinking and its effect on their lives, and of their attain ment of sobriety. Solid information about alcohol and alcoholism is inter woven, with AA credited for much of the recovery support. The effect of al cohol on women is contrasted with that on men. If you've thought or felt that you just can't understand those alco holics, then this book is for you.
