The Last Bar on Main Street: A Recovery Novel

The bar had been in my family for forty-one years, and I killed it in one night. Not the way you'd think — I didn't burn it down or sell it drunk, though I came close to both at different times. This is a 65-chapter story about a family bar on Main Street, a man's long slide into the bottle, and the night everything came apart — told in a voice that has lived it. It's about the regulars who become family, the debts you can't pay with money, and what it takes to face a town you let down. Raw, funny in the dark places, and honest all the way down. For anyone who ever had to close the door on the old life and figure out what comes next. If you've ever lost something that mattered — a business, a name, a place where people knew you — you'll recognize this story. Some roads back are walked one honest mile at a time.
