Customer Reviews

thank goodness it is here

This book helped. I just recommended it to another friend and checked to see if it is available. I was so glad to find it here. Heal the wounds and break the cycle. It is true, there is hope.

Thank you for giving me hope.

I have owned a dozen copies of this book over the years because I keep giving it to people who are aching from growing up households (alcoholic or not) where there were serious issues that were "pretended" away, leaving deep scars. Ms. Marlin shows us our vulnerabilities with such kindness and hope. I am forever grateful.
