Never Like My Father: Childhood Trauma, Family Addiction, and One Sacred Promise - Hardcover

Kane, Howard: - As a former Fortune 500 executive, he knows what it feels like to appear successful on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. For years, he hid his drinking behind late nights, busy calendars, and a polished smile. When he finally faced the truth about his addiction, he discovered that recovery wasn't just possible; it was life-changing.Howard channels that experience into memoir-style novels that explore addiction, family trauma, money, and power. His five-book saga, The Daughter of a Drunk, follows Olivia Parker from a terrified little girl in a small Ohio town, vowing she'll never be like her father, to a woman fighting billionaires, corrupt institutions, and her own worst impulses. Beginning with Never Like My Father, the series blends coming-of-age drama, generational alcoholism, and high-stakes whistleblower suspense into one continuous, bingeable story.He also writes standalone novels rooted in alcohol dependence and recovery, including The Double Life of a High-Functioning Alcoholic, which pulls back the curtain on the addiction that hides behind ambition and success, and From Wine Mom to Sober Mom, which shines a light on the unique struggles mothers face when drinking threatens everything they love.Through raw honesty and lived experience, Howard's books show that surviving a drunk parent or being the drunk parent is only the beginning. The real story is what you do with the wreckage. Readers describe his work as "impossible to put down" because the characters feel uncomfortably real, and their choices never come cheap.If you've ever questioned your relationship with drinking, grown up in the shadow of someone else's, or wondered how far you'd go to protect the people you love, Howard Kane's stories are for you.Website: https: //selfcarejourneybooks.com/
