So well written.  How many authors are this honest?  Paul Rega is relentlessly truthful about his feelings and emotions.  He holds nothing back, taking the reader on a journey of loss, disillusionment of dreams, and somehow reaches inside, finds the courage to keep fighting.  Tough, raw emotion, illustrating the painful path of not feeling loved, being tormented, fighting for his family, and loving beyond himself to do his best to save his sons.  A heartbreaking tale of family, loss of a child, love gained and lost, and standing for what he believes in.  Great book!  He has the ability to take you along on his journey in such a way that you seem to suffer along with him. I did not consider him self absorbed at all, rather he took the chance to tell his real feelings about his life, his struggles of what to do about a business he really hated, but needed to support his family. Did he make bad choices sometimes?  Yes, but being willing to admit them is being honest, giving the reader the opportunity to dislike him. But I too have made my bad choices, and lived with the consequences.  For me, it just made me like him more that he told his true feelings.  No not a perfect father or husband, but who is? I could relate to his pain; I too have lost a child, in fact, two teenage girls, and certainly my path of pain took me to suicide and beyond.  I find him human, and yet a good man who pushes through very hard times.He is my new favorite author!
