This is a must read for the AA history buff. It is a look inside of the relationship between Bill and Lois from her point of view. Also, not to be controversial, but I never bought the idea that Lois wrote "To Wives" chapter of "Alcoholics Anonymous". Once I read this quaint, lovely diary, and having listened to Lois' speech, I'm convinced that Lois Wilson is not the author of chapter eight. This book puts the Wilson's in a different light on an adventure of a lifetime. I suggest that you get to know Lois and Bill as it is an easy read that takes you on this this journey. And pass it on, this book is worth the reading.
I love books like this. Reading about real experiences from another time fascinates me. Reading about the travelling is great, too. I just finished reading Memories of the Great Depression: My Personal Memories and the contrast in the financial situations of the two families is jarring. It was just coincidence that I read them back-to-back, but it was very interesting to see the 20's from such varied perspectives. If you enjoy books like this, I recommend , , and .
