I'M HUNGRY DADDY - Memoir - Alcohol Addiction

"As a boy growing up during the Depression, Cliff watched alcohol rob his mother of her hope, her beauty, her life. And he vowed he'd never touch a drop.

Until one fateful night, when at the age of nineteen, he says to a mate, "One beer cant hurt, can it?"

By his thirties Cliff is a hopeless alcoholic, homeless, shattered and walking Sydneys skid row. His life is in ruins- but with him is his little five-year old daughter Helen. When everyone else deserts him, she will not leave his side. The only time she ever complains is to say "I'm hungry, Daddy".

Through Helen he finds compassion in the hearts of other lost souls, who look out for Cliffy and his little girl. Strangers offer food, money, a place to stay, a joke to share and most of all, hope.

The unwavering love of Helen and the support of his father sustain Cliff throughout his long battle with alcohol. Finally after many heartbreaking false starts, he finds the courage to break the cycle.

As he rebuilds his life, the lessons Cliff learned the hard way and his irresponsible sense of humour help him face what some days seem impossible odds. Then his life is transformed forever when he meets a woman whose love brings the sense of belonging he has been searching for all his life."
