Overview

A gritty but well-written real-life success story of a father passing on the gift of recovery to his grown son. The author describes in gritty detail his path to recovery from the mean streets of New York, where he traveled to avoid incarceration by enrolling in a treatment center for the indigent, to a new life in recovery in Seattle, where he settles with his second wife and establishes a new family as well as a new career, without ever breaking faith with the little boy. Twelve-step principles not only keep the author in recovery, they help him repair and remake the relationship with his son, and allow him to be of unique service to that young man when he needs a father the most.
