Lois Wilson (3) (1891–1988)

After several people recommending this book, and it being right on my bedroom shelf, I thought I'd better read it. I was surprised it didn't talk more about the Al-anon aspect but it was very interesting to hear about Bill and AA from her perspective. She was on board with following the steps herself right from the start. They had an amazing life after AA began. They met tons of people and went all over the world.

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 [b:Memories of the Great Depression: My Personal Memories|8500498|Memories of the Great Depression My Personal Memories|Jack Daniels|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|13366386] 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 show more interesting to see the 20's from such varied perspectives.
