What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening?

<All the Way to the River< is a landmark memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love&mdash;or to any other passion, substance, or craving &ndash; and who yearns, at long last, for liberation.
