As with many of the inspirational and interesting people I hear of, I first heard of Bill Clegg on Rosie Radio (SiriusXM Stars). Bill Clegg is a recovering crack addict, author and a literary agent. Though he spoke in-depth with Rosie O'Donnell on her radio show about the book and his past, there was so much more that I learned by reading his captivating book "Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man".
The memoir describes how he lost it all and came back from rock bottom. Over a two-month binge of vodka and crack, he saw his $70,000 bank account, boyfriend and job all disappear. In fact, he nearly lost his life.
"90 Days" is the next book due out by Clegg, which will cover the time he spent getting sober.
I read his book in no time, which is a great feat for me. It holds on to you with a tight grip and will leave you thinking about him, his experience and the book for a long time after having finished the book.
