Love's Triumph
Love’s Triumph is the story of one woman’s healing journey through the abyss of alcoholism. Born into an upper-middle class family, blessed with intelligence and everything else that would guarantee success, Patricia (‘Patsy’) Kentz’s life looked idyllic on the surface. Underneath the surface, though, she struggled with no sense of herself or her worth and a dogged, almost ruthless, determination to prove otherwise. Achieving academic honors through high school, in the pre-med program at university and then again in dental school did not diminish her pain. Only alcohol did. And it did for almost forty years – until finally, love penetrated her defiant shell and triumphed in her life. Love’s Triumph is a celebration of the healing power of love – and one woman’s decision to accept it.

Book Reviews
This was simply a good read. The fact that it was about recovering from alcoholism was just an extra for me. I knew Dr. Kentz like I had lived it with her. I hope this author continues to write books on other subjects, she is a natural story teller.

Love’s Triumph shows the power of love over the tortuous disease of alcoholism. I couldn’t put it down as I read about all the events she encountered in her life, that eventually led her to sobriety. The book is a “must-read” for anyone living with alcoholism themselves, or with the alcoholism of a relative or friend. HOPE shows its face and proves that with love, sobriety is possible! Well written and thought provoking!

A must read for all. Patsy shares an intimate and compelling story about her life and struggle with addiction. Infact she doesn’t just tell us about her life, she invites us in. Through the pain and the heartbreak we are with her all the way to her triumphant victory over alcohol. I could not put t down and highly recommend this book for everyone, especially for those who have a similar story or know of someone who does.
