Studio of Books is proud to have “A Life Long Spiritual Walk as a Friend of Bill W.” by Ellie Lorenz at the 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest gathering of publishing professionals and readers, at Frankfurt, Germany on October 15 to 19, 2025. This year’s event welcomed more than 238,000 visitors and over 4,350 exhibitors from around the globe, creating a vibrant space for literary exchange and discovery.
Visitors repeatedly stopped exploring the book’s unique narrative and meaningful themes, sparking genuine interest and conversations. The book’s ability to captivate and engage readers is a testament to its powerful impact and the universal appeal of its story.
The display of this masterpiece at such an esteemed global event clearly highlights Studio of Books’ dedication to sharing transformative stories that resonate across cultures and generations. This milestone marks a proud moment for the book and its author, signaling the beginning of a wider journey toward international recognition and lasting reader connection.
Ellie Lorenz is a graduate of California State University, Sacramento. She is the mother of three children—a daughter and two sons—five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. She currently lives in Washington State. Her lifelong spiritual journey as a friend of Bill W. is a tribute to her formative years spent with her grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and beloved animals.
She has Native roots in Canada with the Blood tribe and in Montana with the Blackfeet tribe, all of which contribute to the woman she is today. She attributes the beginning of her spiritual walk to being led to the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous on her most vulnerable and teachable day—the day she began to truly hear for the first time in a long time. The rest of the journey speaks for itself: a path of wonderment, fulfillment, adventure, joy, sorrow, experience, and success.
