A very humbling read

This is the autobiography of a truly remarkable woman - though I get the feeling that the author herself would disagree with that comment. This is the story of a woman who who suffered so many "knockbacks" in life, ill health, involved in an abusive relationship etc, that she herself became an alcoholic. When Maureen decided to pull herself together, she joined AA and there met another recovering alcoholic (Hugh), through whom she discovered the Christian faith. For many years now this couple have devoted their lives to helping those who are less fortunate than most, those who society tend to shun ie drug addicts, prostitutes etc.This woman's story is well reading as it takes you through her own battle and the onto helping others with theirs.I personally cannot rate it highly enough!
