A Friend of Bill's

Not only couldn't I put this book down,It blew me away.The raw rigorest honesty he shares,so openly of his daughters death,brought tears to my eyes,and a crack to my heart.As a father of four,Bills loss is my biggest nightmare.I had the honor of meeting Bill at"The Aroma Cafe"in studio City,Ca.I was not disapointed.Come to find out he's a spiritual speaker,and working on his next book,as well as the founder of"PIIETAA" Parents involved in educating teenagers about alcohol.Thank you Bill for your time and kind words.

Bill McPhie's book searches with simple candor for a reason why. The loss of a loved one is always painful, but to lose a daughter to despair after having beaten it yourself must be a haunting experience. At first there is numbness, then disbelief, then anger. Eventually, he hopes to accept and to learn from his tragic experience, and the wisdom he gained through great personal loss is our blessing. In the darkness of addiction, Bill's book stands as a beacon, dispensing empathy and hope in equal measure. This timely book touches on a severe problem in our country, and does so with wit and humilty, allowing us a view into a world few of us would survive. There are lessons here for everyone. A must read for all parents.

I read this book twice. If you are a recovering alcoholic, or someone in your family has a problem, you must read this book. It was sad, funny, insightful and most importantly, a real life story. One we've all been through, more or less. This is not a typical self-help book. It's the painful story of an alcoholic and his daughter. Mr. McGee is a wonderful writer and he weaves his story to capture the audience. This book is a must read. Katherine Hammontre

Bill Dundee's story will move you in ways no novel can, and will educate you in ways no textbook can. This is a must read for any parent and all teenagers ready to take that first drink. Do yourself a favor and read this book, then do someone else a fovor and pass it on. Dr. Bill Sheehan

Bill and Sandi Dundee are people we all know. The tribute Bill writes for his daughter and the story of their illness, is a hardline, gut wrenching story. There are many smiles, in the book, and many tears. I think Sandi would have been proud of her Dad. Bill cuts no punches in his autobiography concerning alcoholism and how the effects are multi-generational. The only problem I had with this book was that it wasn't long enough. Once you pick it up, you won't lay it down until you reach the end. One of the best books on family alcoholism I have ever read.
