This story is based on the author's birth family in the throes of the father's alcoholism.  Thirty years after her brother's suicide which triggered other family tragedies, she honored his memory by writing this for him.

Alcoholism is a common family disease that affects each member a little differently yet predictably because it is so common, affecting millions all over the world. Birth order plays a significant part. The good news is that there are AA and Al-Anon and many other 12-step offshoots in every city available free through a well-publicized internet network.

Synopsis
Booze at Breakfast is a family portrait of the disease of alcoholism. Stories take us to the heart of life's deep truths, and this one hits us from all the characters' perspectives-the abusive self-loathing alcoholic, his wife and the children's experience, and especially his son, Peter. It is charmingly interspersed with an Irish neighbor's spiritual wisdom and the youth priest's friendship with the alcoholic's wife and son. The redemption herein is hard-won, funny, and sweet. Engrossing, loving, and wise, this story will provide understanding for anyone who has puzzled about an alcoholic or his/her family's choices and challenges.
