I have read many memoirs of varying styles. The author approaches this memoir in a different
manner. He brings you back to the time
of his childhood to reveal how he perceived growing up with a father that was
an alcoholic, how that molded him and how the entire family functioned. He asked many question like a child would at
this time but the answers escape him until much later in life. He finds a lovely lady and gets married then raises
his three children. He then makes a very
disturbing observation he has become his father. The author has one thing his father did not,
faith. His faith may have been buried
but in time, it did resurface stronger. Overtime, he was able to remove the obstacles
that had kept getting in his way. Author
sends a very strong message to all of us.
We all have issues and there is no reason we have to keep them bottled
up inside of us. His struggle with his
own addition shows that the patterns can be broken no matter how bad you think
things have gotten. There is always hope
if your faith is strong enough.
I received a free copy of this book from Booksneeze in exchange
for my honest review of the book.
