In the United States, there are over 20 million adult children of alcoholics. As a member of this group, author Tom O'Connor spent years grappling with the instability he endured being raised by an alcoholic father and an enabling mother. Reflecting on his experiences, O'Connor relates his story of resilience, compassion and forgiveness.

Offering empathy and hope, O'Connor shares survival skills and specific action items to allow adult children of alcoholics to better understand themselves and ultimately live a more stable, peaceful life. Both a memoir and a self-help guide, the book is a welcome resource for adult children of alcoholics in need of validation.
