If you or anyone you know has gone through a situation with an alcoholic spouse, I recommend this book as a look into their experiences. I have a dear friend who was married to an alcoholic and who suffered with her husband through multiple rehabs and finally, after years and years of trying to help someone who couldn’t help himself, got a divorce. Just last year her ex-husband passed away from alcoholism (he was only 41). I admit I could never completely understand what she was going through, and don’t claim to completely understand now, but I do have a better idea after reading this book.

I highly recommend it.

I “read” the audio version of this book which is read by J.A. Jance herself.

I’m also not someone who read a lot of poetry, but I’m SO glad I came across this book and gave it a try!
