McElderry, 2008 Good Narrative For Those Seeking Depression This is a good book, no doubt about it. The only criticism I have is that it's just such a tragic narrative. It made me bawl afterwards. Some of the sequences of sad events seem almost unreal because of the never-ending drama; but at the same time, still very plausible. The main character is a teenage girl named Pattyn Von Stratten. Her family is very strictly Mormon. Her mother is a baby maker ...             Alcoholics Anonymous - Big Book5 reviews, ..., 2010 Life On Life's Terms All I will say on this review is I am glad that the Kindle version is available.             Addict In The Family22 reviews Hazelden, 2009 Excellent I thought this was excellent.
