"Find me. I will wait. Capture my heart. I will capture yours. Take this moment to tell me one secret. Breathe this life into your soul. Angels come when we are ready. Find me."
Repeatedly, throughout this moving and extraordinarily objective memoir, author John Moriarty returns to this simple and beautiful mantra. From a childhood of fear and rejection, Moriarty fled into adulthood fueled by ever-increasing doses of alcohol, cocaine, and prescription drugs. Solace and safety could always be found and reality postponed in another bottle of vodka. Until he died. And awoke. And realized. That somewhere inside him lay a life, wasted but aching to begin.
John Moriarty is a freelance writer living in Kansas City, Missouri.
