"I am the adult child of an alcoholic. My childhood, and that of my brothers and sisters, was robbed by a terrible and painful disease no one wanted to talk about. I wrote this book for anyone who has ever hidden in a closet; for anyone who has experienced the terror, the violence, the shame and embarrassment of living with an alcoholic. I want you to know there is hope and there is help. I made it out. This is my story."
