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
“Love’s Triumph” – Thank you Dr. Patsy Kentz! Patsy’s book caught me by surprise. I expected to learn more about her life – not mine. For anyone that battled addiction…..for anyone that loved someone that fought that battle, win or lose…. Please, READ THE BOOK. You will be amazed at what you learn about yourself and the power of love. “Especially in times of darkness, that is the time to love, that an act of love might tip the balance.”

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.

This is a must read! Patsy Kentz’s story, while about her overcoming addiction is applicable to everyone. It is about acceptance of yourself and others. Patsy’s writing style is as if she is in the room with you having a heart-to-heart talk. I would recommend this book to everyone.

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.

This inspirational book is a winner. Patsy takes you on a roller coaster of emotions in a story you can’t put down. We can all learn something from her struggle with an addiction, and how Love, Perseverance, and Faith can work miracles. I look forward to Patsy’s next book.
