Taking Life Back: a memoir

What would you do if the man of your dreams became your worst nightmare? Would you leave him or would you stick it out and try to change him?

Against a backdrop of the sixties, seventies and eighties, and through anecdotes and musings laced with dark humor, this is an adult woman's coming-of-age story of her slide into near insanity, how she struggled to pull herself out of the mire and begin the long process of taking her life back through hard work and Al-Anon.
