More than 22 million American adults were raised by an alcoholic--nearly all of them receiving psychological and/or physical scars. Emily Marlin, drawing on her experiences as a therapist, marriage counselor, and child of an alcoholic, provides excellent suggestions for regaining emotional health and building a happy and enriching life.
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.
