Author: William G. Borchert
Now a Hallmark Hall of Fame special: “When Love Is Not Enough.”
This powerful biography tells the story of Lois Burnham Wilson, spirited founder of Al-Anon and wife of Alcoholics Anonymous cofounder Bill Wilson. Acclaimed author and screenwriter William G. Borchert traces Lois’s remarkable life—from her privileged New York City upbringing and socialite years as a “Wall Street Wife” in the roaring 1920s, to cross-country motorcycle adventures with Bill in the 1930s, and ultimately to the heartbreak of Bill’s seventeen-year struggle with alcoholism.
Through exclusive personal interviews with Lois herself, Borchert reveals the chaos and anguish she endured as well as the extraordinary strength and compassion that led her to create one of the most influential family support movements of the twentieth century. With unshakable faith and uncommon love, Lois transformed her pain into a legacy of hope for millions of families impacted by addiction.
More than a biography, The Lois Wilson Story is a portrait of resilience, partnership, and the birth of a movement that continues to change lives around the world.

Bill Borchert will always be a seminal part of my life and now millions of others will get to appreciate his selfless devotion to the woman who founded Al-Anon and her mesmerizing story. Bravo, my friend."
