Jim has worked in the human services field for 20  plus years; some of that time included working with men and women, as singles and couples, whose lives and families had been ravaged by alcoholism and drug addiction. His book, A Man's Work is Never Done: A Novel About Mentoring Our Sons, was as he says, a way of putting his insights into words.
