From Library Journal:
Most adults from dysfunctional families can enter a Twelve-Step program and meet others like themselves, but some continue to feel "different." In this fascinating sequel to It Will Never Happen to Me (MAC, 1982), Black explores nine issues that complicate the recovery (and increase the shame) of many Adult Children of Alcoholics: racial identity, being an only child, physical handicaps, and homosexuality are among them. Here at last readers might meet people with whom they can identify. Each chapter introduces three to six children and describes their family lives (with each individual's comments inserted for clarification). After a few pages of theoretical discussion, the speakers reappear as adults in recovery situations ranging from AA to therapy. While a valuable addition to any library, this book limits its scope to helping readers overcome feelings of isolation and offers few directions for getting help.
