Spanning 62 years, this gripping memoir follows Bob's life marked by adversity, from birth defects due to nuclear testing to a tumultuous upbringing. Find solace with Bob in the constant of cars amidst a chaotic childhood, experiencing the highs and lows, and the wild rock and roll lifestyle of friends in bands.

His addiction spirals dangerously close to death, culminating in a pivotal moment of self-realization at a detox unit. The narrative weaves through cycles of despair and resilience, revealing the transformative tools that saved Bob - from a higher power to the 12 steps.
After years of struggle, Bob finds peace on a mountain, living his dream with Roxy, his loyal dog.
