The Lois Wilson Story: When Love Is Not Enough - Brossura

Acclaimed author and screenwriter William G. Borchert explores the life and times of Lois Burnham Wilson, the spirited creator of Al-Anon and wife of Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson. From her privileged childhood in turn-of-the-century New York City to her socialite status as the “Wall Street Wife” of the charismatic Bill in the roaring ‘20s to the couples audacious cross-country motorcycle excursion in the 1930s, Lois was every bit the adventure seeker. But nothing could have prepared her for the chaos, anguish, and loss caused by Bill’s seventeen-year decent into the depth of alcoholism.In this moving story, Borchert reveals how the couple rose from the life of despair to institute one of the 20th century’s most important social movement, and how Lois created a legacy of hope for millions of family devastated by addiction through her uncommon love and unshakable faith.
