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.

“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 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.

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 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.
