About the Author:
Melody Beattie is the author of numerous books about personal growth and relationships, drawing on the wisdom of Twelve Step healing, Christianity, and Eastern religions. With the publication of Codependent No More in 1986, Melody became a major voice in self-help literature and endeared herself to millions of readers striving for healthier relationships. She lives in Malibu, California.
From AudioFile:
In a lyrical and gritty narrative, Beatty tells us how she acquired her wisdom about codependency, self-destructiveness and the addictive personality. It's not a pretty picture, but it serves the purpose of prodding listeners to stay with their own discomfort and to let it inform their lives. She also teaches us that we can have relationships with people who respect God's order for them, rather than trying to control or subvert them. The grace and reality of Beatty's narrative, and a nicely balanced reading, will provide a lot of encouragement to listeners.
