Product Description
Hide Me in the Wind is the story of Darrell, who grew up in a home rife with alcohol abuse and violence. Darrell begins down his own path of substance abuse as an adult when he begins an affair with a married woman.
The affair ends abrupty, and tragically, when the woman’s husband uncovers the affair, whereupon Darrell banishes himself to a period of hard labor in a desolate climate to do penance for his mistakes.
The death of a coworker forces Darrell to take another look at his own life. He moves back to a town near where he’d lived previously. A chance encounter reunites him with his former lover. They proceed to live the wild life, abusing alchohol and cocaine together. When Darrell finds that she is cheating on him he breaks off the relationship-again.
As Darrell slides into despair and full-blown alcoholism, a freak accident costs him his job. From there its deeper into the bottle and despair and self-hatred, until he lands himself on the street and homeless.
Darrell’s life takes a fateful turn for the better when a former co-worker helps him into rehab. In rehab Darrell confronts the emotional traumas of his youth, his alcoholism, and his most painful defects.
Hide Me in the Wind is a fast-paced look at the life of an alcoholic through Darrell’s own eyes. Neither pretty, nor glamorous the story shows how ugly such a life can get, and the courage and strength that it takes to find healing. It also shows the hope there is for second chances. If one dare’s to face the truth.Product Description
