✦ Synopsis

Katherine Ketcham devoted three decades to writing and teaching about addiction--but none of that prepared her for what she would face in her relationship with her own son. From the coauthor of the bestselling classics Under the Influence (with James R Milam; Bantam, 1984) and The Spirituality of Imperfection (with Ernest Kurtz; Bantam, 1993), The Only Life I Could Save brings readers a memoir of heartbreak, healing, and the continual journey of recovery from addiction. "This book is about the big know-it-all who realizes she doesn't know a damn thing," begins Ketcham. The Only Life I Could Save offers readers her hard-earned expertise on the impact of addiction on families, the relationship between spirituality and recovery, and "the most important lessons of faith, hope, acceptance, and forgiveness."
