“Peter Murphy’s memoir is pure pleasure.” ~Jay Parini, author of Borges and Me, an Encounter
“I read it straight through―how can he possibly survive?―astounded by his persistence and courage. You will be too.” ~Terese Svoboda, author of Roxy and Coco and The Long Swim
“Peter Murphy floods us with tenderness in this powerful memoir, opening the heart of the reader while taking us inside poverty, cruelty, and addiction. Surprisingly, this same voice brings a wealth of funny stories, offering us a way to be more human, more included.” ~Jan Beatty, author of Dragstripping
“A harrowing, hopeful, and unexpectedly funny book.” ~Paul Lisicky, author of Later: My Life at the Edge of the World, a Memoir
