About this listen
Despite being poor and from a broken home, carefree eight-year-old Paul is a happy and contented lad; that is until his mother marries the beast, and then everything changes. What he doesn't know, is how to handle the ensuing abuse, neglect, and violence.
The next 40-plus years of his life constantly flips from black, dark periods of addiction and chaos, followed by white, light bursts of progress. What a disaster and waste - will alcoholism keep him in its vice-like grip?
Paul wants to change the world and, in particular, improve the lives of disadvantaged people; it's a question of bottle - which will he choose - the one filled with courage or the one filled with booze?
