Tomorrow's Sorrows: The Memoir of Kenny Duggan - Paperback

by Pat Clisham (Author)

After "Hobby Trumps Heartache" launched last year the Broken Giant series, Pat Clisham brings another stunning first-person narrative portrait of the heart and soul of the life story of an aging man whose end is near. And it isn't pretty. Kenny Duggan, a Maryland kid athlete from nothing, becomes something of a success in the business big leagues . Kenny traces for us his humble roots laced with his secret search for sanity as a youngster. Does family trauma wound us forever? Or does family trauma drive us to succeed? Or is history destined to repeat itself in our quest for fame, fortune, pride, recognition, status or cash? In what dimension of living does a child of the 50's learn to reach contentment in old age? Whether it is his struggles with alcohol or his continuous climbing the mountain of surviving in the rough and tumble of car sales, Duggan allows us to see, up close and personal, every twist and turn of turmoil with the odds stacked against him from 1st grade on. This touching memoir of Kenny's life is the unvarnished truth about how you maybe get in life what you put into it. And if you build effective resources, life has a way of rewarding you. And if you don't, "Tomorrrow's Sorrows" may hold sharp edged outcomes. Clisham once again offers us a comprehensive take on an Everyman, the good, the bad, the ugly, and then some. The depth of pain and honesty or even grit from this true story rarely are revealed among today's barrage of instant information about politics, sports, or entertainment figures which blur the high hurdles of the millions who live away from Main St. or the glare of lights.
