| About the Book
Growing up with an alcoholic father, Kelly Phillips Bookamer
harbored feelings of anger, confusion, and depression. Dear Dad
reflects the inner turmoil that consumed Kelly for much of her life.
Following her father’s painful death, she came to realize that she
was not alone and that she could control her own destiny. Her
collection of poems documents her life as an Adult Child of an
Alcoholic. Her work contains a message of hope and encouragement to
other ACOAs, that even in the face of depression, everything will be
okay. It is the poetry of her soul, the words of her spirit, the
story of her life, as she struggles to come to terms with the
reality of her troubled childhood.
