Tentacles..

"Tom Greeley knows too well how insidious alcoholism can be. He has expereinced how the disease entraps not only the drinking person, but the entire family. He writes about the incredicble isolation, the credit card debt, and the anguish over his children's safety. In Tentacles... he narrates the journey of the long attempt to rescue an alcoholic spouse and save his family from the spiral of destruction ordained by the path of alcoholism."— page [4] cover.
