I read this book in one sitting. Getting two perspectives on the trauma of abuse, the challenges of addiction, and the journey of recovery is both riveting and valuable. This story is harrowing and honest with touches of humour, but ultimately, it's hopeful.
Join us for the long-delayed Ottawa launch for One Good Reason–now scheduled to commemorate Mental Health Day and Thanksgiving!
In this deeply personal memoir, co-written with wife Andrea Aragon, singer-songwriter, renowned recovery advocate, and recent Order of Canada recipient Séan McCann leaves no stone unturned. McCann and Aragon offer readers a love story, a memoir of addiction and recovery, of young love and a strained marriage, of reaching international fame and rock bottom. But most of all, an honest, raw, and inspiring tribute to embracing that we are all worth saving.
