Booze at Breakfast is actually a family portrait from the disease of alcoholism. Stories take us to the heart of life's deep truths, and this a single hits us from all the characters' perspectives-the abusive self-loathing alcoholic, his wife and the children's experience, and particularly his son, Peter. It is charmingly interspersed with an Irish neighbor's spiritual wisdom and also the youth priest's friendship using the alcoholic's wife and son. The redemption herein is hard-won, funny, and sweet. Engrossing, loving, and smart, this story will provide understanding for any individual who has puzzled about an alcoholic or his/her family's alternatives and challenges.
