Drunks & Monks

A thirty-something entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles seems to have everything, until one bad week undoes his carefully arranged life. His marriage ends abruptly, his mother receives a terminal cancer diagnosis, and, grieving, he walks away from a prestigious career just after a notable courtroom win. The author recounts what followed: a long slide into despair and a brush with death, and then the slow work of recovery and renewal. It is a candid memoir about losing control and finding a different way to live.
