I am delighted to introduce to you my friend and fellow Bermudian, Kirkland Hamill who has written his memoir 'Filthy Beasts'.
Kirkland shares his story with a real honesty that is refreshing and courageous when it comes to the secrecy surrounding the family disease of addiction.
The New York Times, Jason Sheeler wrote in this review of Filthy Beasts:
“Wake up, you filthy beasts!” Hamill’s mother hollered to her three sons on school mornings. Those were the all-too-brief good years, before divorce and alcoholism took her under; before Hamill and his brothers’ lives took on a feral quality.
Survivor would be a word I would use to describe Kirkland however he is more than that ... entering the rooms of Al-Anon as a 19 year old on the small island of Bermuda, and working diligently on learning healthier ways to cope and thrive in his life.
