"A Green One for Woody" is a true story about a boy becoming a man. And while themes of abuse and alcoholism are common in memoirs, there is nothing common about how Patrick O'Sullivan patiently peels away the textured layers of his life to reveal truths that will cause readers to both marvel and despair, and, sometimes, celebrate. From the author..."My dad had been anointed to resurrect our family name, sullied for decades by alcoholism and suicide. He was big, bright and handsome, and blessed with a silver tongue and athletic prowess. The Tigers and the Cubs wanted him. Instead, his dad insisted he attend the University of Michigan, but a broken leg on the practice field ended his big league dreams. Then he met my mom and she got pregnant, and with my heart beating inside, she denied to her preacher dad that I was there." Years of boozing and abuse took their toll; being poor didn't help, and his dad continued his downward spiral across the years of the author's young life. But over another decade, buoyed by friendships and uncommon love, Patrick O'Sullivan was propelled forward by an inimitable sense of humor and a faith anchored in hope. This is his story of becoming a man.
