Author Michael Stapleton Shares His Life and the Lives That Touched Him in Autobiography
Huntersville, N.C. (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- Author Adrian Brody once said that "Family isn’t just about whose blood runs through your veins. It’s about who never left your side, stood up for you, and believed in you." This very touching line holds true especially for author Michael Stapleton, a man whose life’s journey is about to be unraveled.
Blood and Alcohol is a compelling autobiography of his life and the lives that touched him. He is the son of veterinarian Dr. Robert Stapleton and Ruth Carter Stapleton, an evangelist and faith healer in the ’70s, and nephew to a former US president and First Lady, Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter. He is a businessman, entrepreneur and motivational speaker. He has been involved in major political campaigns and fund-raising efforts for major nonprofit companies.
This book uncovers most of his life’s journey including his encounters with the law, the press, the death of his mother and grandmother, as well as those good times when he visited the White House and Camp David, his memorable experiences attending the Democratic National Conventions as well as the Ryder Cup and Masters tournament, the births of his children, to finally unveiling his struggle with alcohol.
Blood and Alcohol will teach readers the importance of having and maintaining a strong family relationship despite the trials and struggles that befall one of them. Author Michael Stapleton had his fair share of the good and bad things in life. But despite everything he never gave up on his battle with alcoholism. With unwavering love and care from his family, he is able to survived during those trying times. And today, he consider himself as a recovering alcoholic with his family intact.
