Singing My Him Song
by Malachy McCourt
Harpercollins, 2000

In Singing My Him Song, Malachy McCourt's remarkable and entertaining sequel to his New York Times bestselling book, A Monk Swimming, McCourt invites readers along as he journeys through the next 37 years. Perceptively and skillfully weaving together the highs and lows of his adult life with newly shared memories of his childhood in Ireland, McCourt survived divorce and slowly climbed from the depths of his numbing alcoholic haze to sobriety.

Along the way he rubbed elbows with the famous and infamous, discovered a talent for acting, met (and nearly lost) the love of his life, and summoned all his energy to battle prostate cancer. A surprisingly bold story of redemption that could easily have been one of self-destruction, McCourt movingly captures the moment he reached the brink and chose life, and embraced forgiveness—both for himself and his family.
