Katherine Ketcham devoted three decades to writing and teaching about addiction, but none of that prepared her for what she would face in her relationship with her own son. From the coauthor of the bestselling classics Under the Influence (with James R Milam; Bantam, 1984) and The Spirituality of Imperfection (with Ernest Kurtz; Bantam, 1993), The Only Life I Could Save presents an unabridged reading of Katherine Ketcham's memoir of heartbreak, healing, and the continual journey of recovery from addiction.
