"All of us are scarred, but some go to extremes in the quest for the happy childhood they never had." Malachy McCourt, actor and author of the bestselling memoir A Monk Swimming, grew up in Limerick, Ireland, surrounded by death, poverty, and abuse. Upon arriving in America, he embraced life with a fervent desire to escape his troubled past. Millions followed his journey through his twenties as he navigated a world of excess, becoming a recognizable figure in film and television, from New York to Hollywood and beyond. In his latest work, McCourt recounts his transformation from a reckless, heavy-drinking lifestyle to that of a sober, devoted father and grandfather, happily married for thirty-five years. Readers meet the steadfast woman who supported him, witness their family life, and share in his career's ups and downs, including hosting talk shows and acting in various productions. Yet, he must confront the shadows of his past, advocating for his handicapped stepdaughter and steering his children away from his former path. Just as he finds stability, he faces the daunting challenge of cancer. Bawdy, humorous, and deeply moving, McCourt's narrative captures his journey with honesty and wit, leaving readers eager to discover what unfolds next.
