Galway-born torch singer Mary Coughlan’s autobiography is a funny, moving and typically outspoken memoir. Mary pulls no punches as she recalls sexual abuse as a child, the oblivion of alcohol addiction, emotional abandonment of her children, the suicide attempts and the repeated admission to psychiatric hospitals.
Since
she rose to international fame in 1985 with her seminal Irish jazz album
‘Tired and Emotional’, Mary Coughlan’s battles with addiction, the
problems in her personal life and career have been well documented. But until
now she has never spoken of the traumatic events in her childhood that led to
a life of rebellion, running away, and reliance on drugs and alcohol
