Gail shares a heartfelt and often humorous walk through AA’s early history, shining light on the women who quietly held the fellowship together. With gratitude and decades of sobriety since 1978, she honors figures like Anne Smith, Lois Wilson, Henrietta Seiberling, Sister Ignatia, and the first sober women who helped nurture meetings, guide new drunks, open their homes, type the Big Book, and shape the spiritual practices that became our Steps. Through stories of sacrifice, courage, and grace—women sewing collars during the Depression, praying alcoholics into the rooms, taking in strangers, keeping Bill and Bob alive, and standing firm when AA wavered—Gail reminds us that AA’s birth was a collective act of love. Her greatest contribution is preserving this legacy so we never forget the “good old gals” whose faith and service helped millions find a life of recovery, one day at a time.
