Hungry to Whole

Roger Daniel Grubb's memoir of drinking, sex, wandering, sobriety and fatherhood, told in short chapters. It starts at eighteen in a tent in the Sierra Nevada and runs through a 1980 rock concert at the Oakland Coliseum, a teenage job at a Berkeley beer and wine store, a carpentry apprenticeship, a backpacking summer across Europe, Burning Man in 2004, and the night on the edge of a bed when a voice said "You have to change." Then AA, a sponsor, planning his way out of a job he hated, a failed first marriage, and becoming a father, with a sailboat on San Francisco Bay at the end of it. It is frank about sex and drinking, and not graphic. About 8,800 words. Chapter One is free to read.
