' No one who reads this book will ever forget it ' Meg Mason ' An absolute masterclass and
truth-bomb . I think many people will be shaken awake by this book ' Emma Gannon __________
In her first non-fiction book in a decade the no. 1 bestselling writer who taught millions of
readers to live authentically ( Eat Pray Love ) and creatively ( Big Magic ) shows how to break
free. In 2000 Elizabeth Gilbert met Rayya. They became friends then best friends then
inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives the truth was finally laid bare: the two were in
love. They were also a pair of addicts on a collision course toward catastrophe. What if your
most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? What if the dear friend who
taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom
you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak
opened a pathway to your greatest awakening? All the Way to the River is a landmark memoir
that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love - or to any other passion
substance or craving - and who yearns at long last for liberation.
