Lucky Jim by James Hart
This is Jim Hart's story: how he survived a violent childhood home, how he overcame obsessive dependencies, and how he finally found the strength to be his true self. A master at building relationships, Jim is charming, funny, and a great listener. His success in life and business was based on his ability to connect with others, from people recovering in 12-step groups in Upstate New York to those living in the rarefied air of Martha's Vineyard. But after more than twenty years of being sober, one slip-up triggered an active addiction that threatened his relationships with his then-wife, singer-songwriter Carly Simon, his recovery friends, his severely disabled son, and--as he began to confront his own sexuality--even with himself. With profound clarity and thoughtful language, Jim weaves together the beautiful and all-too-often heartbreaking events of his life into an inspiring tale of bravery, healing, and above all, love.About the Author James Hart set out to see whether he could write a science fiction narrative that was both intense and suspenseful while also parodying science fiction and pop culture. This line of reasoning, together with what he learnt while writing the first book in the series, The Laws of Time, led to the publication of the sequel. Rather of producing a book that sounds like every other book, he's simply writing what he enjoys and thinks you'll enjoy reading. He hopes that even after you've finished reading the novel, you'll return to relive the chuckles and character interactions. He enjoys writing stories that will make you laugh, cry, think, entertain you, retain your attention, and make you want to read more. The first book in this series was well-received by readers of all ages, and he hopes you will enjoy this one as well.
