And readers’ comments reaffirm that ♥️

• I have been thinking about your book so often and it is still giving me incredible comfort in knowing that I could not have changed his situation without him being ready to change it too. Honestly, I haven’t had a wickedly bad day since I read it, and I am forever grateful to you for giving me that.

• What makes this memoir so powerful is McGloin’s vulnerability and humor. Bottles in the Basement had me shaken by the sadness of watching this romance and marriage fall victim to addiction but also profoundly inspired by the author’s perseverance and uplifting rediscovery.

• All the emotions, fears, and concerns we’ve felt during a marriage with an alcoholic were vividly portrayed. The bewilderment when they suddenly pass away. The even greater bewilderment when we are left not only with guilt but also their debts. Memories of better years erased by the frustration of their selfish behavior, choosing the bottle over the spouse they claim to love so much.

• This book is a story about strength, about being a survivor, about going on with your life. A story of hope and love.
