My incredibly wonderful, miserable life - ADAM NIMOY

Adam Nimoy delivers the story of his incredibly wonderful miserable life as an assortment of life lessons, anecdotes, and rants as provocative as they are entertaining, outlining how he comes into his own after a major mid-life crisis.

Writing about growing up as the son of Spock to writing about fathering his own children after a divorce, Nimoy weaves together the ups and downs of life as a son, a father, and a drug addict. With witty humor and honest insight, he touches on the challenges of overcoming his drug addiction, and the vicious cycle of marijuana use that drove him to seek help from the most unlikely of sources: a childhood friend he reconnects with when he drops off his 14 year old daughter at her friend's house.
An attorney who also becomes a producer, Adam takes the reader on a bumpy road of success and failure. But the career that took him years to build comes tumbling down in just a few months when drug withdrawl has him show up to work irritable and filled with rage. Only when he begins to embrace experiences like teaching a young boy to read while substitute teaching, is he able to realize that success can be more than 'live long and prosper.'

Woven into the recovery memoir are humorous tales of the forty something's LA singles scene. Adam delivers a unique account of life before and after rock bottom, bringing the reader along with him at warp speed through a life that truly is incredibly wonderful and miserable.
