In this remarkable first book, Everett stares boldly at the truth and impact of growing up in a family devastated by an abusive, out-of-control alcoholic parent. He draws us into the world of a small boy facing the full blast of an enraged father.
He takes us on a journey, witnessing the physical and verbal abuse of his mother to an extraordinary triumph of will. It’s a story of survival and resilience and redemption that exposes the everyday life of a dysfunctional family. As a child and then as a teenager, he learns to live in the shadows, trying not to stand out or be noticed. He has no language with which to deal with what he has witnessed and felt.
His father’s alcoholism grows in intensity during Everett’s high school years. But beyond life at home, he takes us on an uncommon life of freedom and adventure that cushions his otherwise unstable family life. Once, when a friend suggested to him that riding a motorcycle is dangerous, he replied, “If you think that’s dangerous, try living in my father’s house.”
