Publisher's Synopsis
"A Chicken in the Wind and How He Grew" is a collection of interlocking stories based on pieces written and published in ADDitude Magazine during eight pivotal and sometimes terrifying years in my family's life when I realized that I'd better learn how fly through my mental tornado or I wouldn't be of any use to my wife, my two ADHD kids or anyone I loved - and that everything I cared about could be blown away. But that means getting out of your own head long enough to care about others and learn how to help. For an ADHD, hypomanic, alcoholic, overthinking SOB like me - that's a challenge. Think about it. If every day of your life you wake up already engulfed in a roaring flood of urgent but completely confused and unrelated information hitting you non-stop, all at once, all the time, then the crushing cascade of conflicts and needs of career, creativity, parenting, loss and grief in a family crisis or any other calamity shouldn't be overwhelming, it should feel like old home week. If only.
