Dark Wine Waters: My Husband of a Thousand Joys and Sorrows by Frances Simone (Frances Simone)
The dynamics of codependency are brilliantly illuminated in this heartbreaking story of a marriage destroyed by the husband's addiction to alcohol. Author and widow, Dr. Frances Simone, describes the progression of the disease through all its stages, her husband's attempt at treatment and subsequent relapse, his suicide and her own recovery through a twelve-step programme for families.
