"Jaunty, frank, and compelling, Carney shares his instructive story with generosity and insight."–Booklist"Carney will easily win sympathy for his life, in which he has persevered to show others the hard work of his salvation."–Kirkus Reviews"Thanks to Carney's long career as a poet, there are some truly beautiful, enthralling passages that make the book a real page turner."–LitReactor"Carney weaves beautiful imagery into each scene, pulling the reader down the rabbit hole with him.
