New Gripping Memoir Shows How a Nobody Became a Somebody

Nobody from No Place Going Nowhere -- Then I Hit the Detours by William F. Murphy is an astonishing memoir of overcoming obstacles and a life well lived.

Waterford, CT (PRWEB) May 6, 2007 -- Nobody from No Place Going Nowhere -- Then I Hit the Detours by William F. Murphy is a deeply personal memoir about how Murphy overcame substance abuse, self esteem issues and more to lead a full, rich life.

What's the measure of a good life? For author William F. Murphy, it was facing adversity and obstacles and learning from them. Nobody from No Place Going Nowhere -- Then I Hit the Detours is his smart, funny and blisteringly honest chronicle of learning to live a more caring life.

In clear, conversational prose, Murphy tells the story of how family, mentors and friends helped him grapple with a drinking problem, spirituality and all the other thorns in the rose bushes of life. His path of self discovery was never smooth, but the rewards were great, including a fascinating career in education and a devoted wife, Pat. Murphy's message is clear and important: self-knowledge and self-worth can overcome just about any obstacle.

Murphy is so sure that readers will identify with his message that he's offering to repay the purchase price of the book to any reader who can't find at least one person, event, or feeling addressed in the book. Warm, compelling and deeply inspirational, Murphy's book is a must-read.
