When the Running Began

by Shayne Hughes

Shayne Hughes recounts his journey from a turbulent, reckless adolescence to stable adulthood, drawing back the curtain on his life in each riveting, well-written chapter. The author excels at portraying his early abuse of drugs and alcohol and the difficulty of his efforts to stand on his own two feet and overcome the temptations and trials he faced. Deftly weaving between past and present, he tells a story that will resonate with any reader who has struggled with substance abuse or persistent inner turmoil, and offers an engaging story of his own unlikely road to a life of gratitude and responsibility.
