Synopsis:

Daughter of the Drunk at the Bar is the true story of Janie, a girl growing up in the eighties under the oppression of her father's alcoholism. Both tender and tough, Janie makes her way through childhood hiding what is going on in her family and cherishing the rare moments when nothing is wrong. -"Michelle O'Neil is a true writer, dedicated to sharing her story and experience with others. To read her work is to be inspired. She is a truly perseverant spirit." -Jennifer Lauck, author of New York Times Bestseller, Blackbird, Still Waters, Show Me the Way and Found. -"Michelle O'Neil is a grand gorgeous HEARTBREAKING writer. You should go and buy this book, curl up with this book, fall in love with this girl writer and shout her name from the rooftops." - Amy Ferris, author of Marrying George Clooney, Confessions of a Midlife Crises and co-editor of Dancing at the Shame Prom, sharing the stories that kept us small. -“DAUGHTER OF THE DRUNK AT THE BAR is tender, charming and not at all what you expect—which is what makes it a true gem. A beautifully written, bold tale of a young Janie, who struggles to survive a childhood with an alcoholic father and a detached mother. Janie teaches us to never give up what we know to be true, and to honor who we are. All of this with the understanding that “being different” is sometimes what saves us.”
—MONICA HOLLOWAY, author of Cowboy & Wills and Driving with Dead People
