Author: WILLIAM G. BORCHERT
Title: The Lois Wilson Story
Description: Hazelden, 2005. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 381. A long-awaited look at the unsung story of Lois Wilson, wife of the famously anonymous Bill W. Acclaimed author and screenwriter William G. Borchert does a masterful job in revealing the life and times of this spirited and determined woman, exploring the tender emotional territory beyond Lois`s role in the formation of AA and the subsequent creation of Al-Anon. From her privileged childhood in turn-of-the-century New York City, to her unexpected but exhilarating courtship with the dashing Bill Wilson, to her socialite status as a "Wall Street Wife" in the Roaring Twenties, to the couple`s audacious cross-country motorcycle excursions in the 1930s, Lois was every bit the adventure-seeker her legendary husband was. But nothing could have prepared her for the chaos, pain, and loss caused by her beloved Bill`s seventeen-year descent into the depths of alcoholism. In the end, however, her husband`s addiction proved not to be the tragic undoing of this brilliant, promising couple, but rather the beginning of one of the twentieth century`s most important social movements. Features a 16-page section of black-and-white archival photographs. ISBN: 9781592853281. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
