Synopsis:

"I think her 12-step book is a first-rate work: a very perceptive expansion of Bill W." - Roger Forseth, professor emeritus, University of Wisconson-Superior

Kathy Shaidle writes: "Back in the 1990s, I wrote A Seeker's Dozen as a series of newspaper columns. Ever since, I've been asked when that series will be published in book form. So here it is, at last."

Possibly the only book in the world that cites Courtney Love and St. Therese of Lisieux, Woody Allen and Oskar Schindler... A Seeker's Dozen: The 12 Steps for Everyone Else is the long-awaited new book from award-winning author and long-time blogger, Kathy Shaidle.

This slender volume contains 12 brief meditations on prayer, meditation, forgiveness, honesty, humility, introspection and more, all considered in the light of the paradoxical, perplexing yet sublimely practical 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Plus: an bonus chapter on the Catholic roots of AA -- they may surprise you!
