Review # 1 was written on 2010-09-27 00:00:00 Keith Shaw This was an extremely hard book to read, hard meaning painful. I thought it would be kind of a self-help book for me, but I don't think it really was. I definitely related to so many women mentioned in it, I read their letters and thought they could have been written by me, that's what I went through, I experienced the same pains. However, the book didn't really reveal anything to me that I didn't already know. I made peace with the past and accepted it (for the most part). I think this book should definitely be recommended to therapists and people whose loved ones had an alcoholic parent.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-08 00:00:00 David Ashline Great reading for Adult Daughters. I recognized myself. But not enough about how to do the work to heal. Robert Ackerman tells you to heal, shows you the way, but in trying to stay away from too much 12 step writing, he leaves a deficit in where to actually go. All in all though, it's an excellent beginning for those who have grown up wondering why they are the way they are. Ackerman also does a good job of saying that all those skills learned as an adult daughter, also means that you are good at a lot of things and not to dwell on the one thing we find wrong with ourselves.
