Scars From Another Life: A Memoir
Scars From Another Life chronicles the life of singer/songwriter Michael McDermott, whose harrowing journey through drink, drugs, guns, and self-destruction saw him incarcerated, financially ruined, and spiritually bankrupt.
A white-knuckle ride from small-town obscurity to the heady pages of Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.. From the glitter to the gutter and the long road back, McDermott's down-and-out determination to transcend his demons is a story of the redemptive power of finding oneself in sobriety, family, and the healing salvation of song.

Absolutely mindblowingly good.
You keep asking yourself "HOW is this man still standing?". Well written, full of stories that will sometimes make you laugh, sometimes make you want to cry, and all the time learn something about life or yourself. A powerful memoir, with a powerful story of life, love, loss, wins and rock'n'roll!
