This pocket-sized book captures the first 365 days of the Grapevine Daily Quote, which first appeared in June 2012. The quotes—contributed by AA members, with many written by AA’s co-founders—were selected by the Grapevine staff. All of these passages first appeared in the pages of Grapevine as part of members’ stories and other submissions, and many of them can now be found in Grapevine’s themed book anthologies. Each page offers an inspiring passage of experience, strength and hope to bring into your daily life.
