Asswhole

by Steve Byrne

When the American dream fails to materialize for Steve Byrne he asks what the hell is he doing here? A true story of how the American dream never seemed to exist, where super heroes were just for the big screen and real life is mush! Forget prosperity and success. The “promise” that anyone through hard work, and determination could achieve anything they set their mind to in the United States is literally a dream turned into a nightmare.

Steve Byrne’s world has collapsed! Who do you turn to when there is nobody else? This is his story, a story he may regret! Perhaps what is within this book is too metaphoric to be readily understood fully. To fail in life means to give up, there are times when all answers, all explanations fail. A true emotional journey that anyone can relate to … a story of misery! Is he an asswhole? You decide!

About the author

I grew up during my early years being told and feeling that something was wrong with me. Into my teens I became aware that something was wrong with my family. Into my 20’s {forever referred to as the good old days} I was unaware, just living life like a human flame thrower. In my 30’s I became aware as stress, failure, accomplishment and depression took hold. I grew up searching for a healthy manhood role model in an attempt to raise myself and promising not to pass on my up bringing to others. When that is your saving grace used as a survival tool for many years and then you cannot follow through on the promise to yourself, it is devastating. It’s a condition by which you judge yourself. It’s a condition you cannot meet. What if you cannot stop the cycle that you promised yourself you would?
