Middle-aged, alcoholic, clinically depressed, high school dropout, tennis cheat, Irish poet

...and those were his good points.

In November of 1999, Brendan Gillen’s wife, Mary, told him their marriage of twenty-five years was over. She told him to move on. Gillen decided to leave his four boys and his mountain home in Kimberley.

This is the story of his nightmarish journey from the southeast corner of British Columbia to the downtown east side of Vancouver. From this neglected neighbourhood, he fights his demons and climbs back to mental fitness. A bona fide construction worker, he tells his story from a working man’s point of view, with brutal honesty and humour. It is a tale of loss and discovery, of whining, survival, and more whining.
