An Excellent Book for the Recovering Woman

Although Ms. Kirkpatrick is no longer with us, her words and her group, Women for Sobriety, live on. Her honesty, and her forward way of thinking are wonderful. She gives self-help advice on a topic she knew well, alcoholism, from a woman's standpoint. Her advice, change your thinking, broaden your spiritual horizons, and thus, change your life, is simple and straight-forward. I highly recommend this book.
