Little Red Book For Women

The Little Red Book remains a perennial best-seller to people in early recovery as well as to those who have well-established sobriety. While the text of the Little Red Book contains the basics of beginning a recovery program and understanding the Big Book (the founding text of Alcoholics Anonymous), readers invariably stumble over the archaic phrasing and naturally notice that the intended audience is assumed to be male. The Little Red Book For Women speaks directly to women of the 21st Century.

The original text of the Little Red Book is reprinted in this volume with annotated text appearing in the wider-than-usual margins of each page. The annotations, written by best-selling author Karen Casey, talk directly to women about the core issues that must be addressed to sustain a life of growth and daily serenity. Karen Casey addresses the feelings of emotional rawness that women experience, and she helps readers understand how to reach out to other recovering women. Alcoholism is an isolating, all-consuming condition for women, but Karen Casey shows readers how the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous can introduce women to new friends and healthy behaviors. Readers will find reassurance that a new world awaits them if they choose to step through the doors of AA and begin to embrace its program for rebuilding one’s life.
