Chick'N Charlie

Chick’n Charlie is a memoir about a New York family navigating the unchartered waters of post WWII and working to build a good life after the war.  Because of the historical upheavals of this time period, the “Greatest Generation”, full of hope and dreams for their children, did their best to manage the effects of the ’60s, rock n roll, and the accompanying drug culture.  Unfortunately, this family found itself battling to stem the tide of addiction consuming one of its members.

Filled with artifacts, the book portrays the pain, joy, strength, perseverance, and limitations experienced during this family’s struggle.  The reader gets a glimpse at the realities of dealing with a beloved son/brother addict.

As America once again faces the scourge of widespread addiction, this very personal story is universal.
