Plagued by the suicides of both his siblings, heir to alcohol and drug abuse, divorce and economic ruin, James Brown lived a life clouded by addiction, broken promises and despair. In The Los Angeles Diaries he reveals his struggle for survival, mining his past to present the inspiring story of his redemption. Beautifully written and limned with dark humor, these twelve deeply confessional, interconnected chapters address personal failure, heartbreak, the trials of writing for Hollywood and the lifeshattering events that finally convinced Brown that he must 'change or die.'In 'Snapshot,' Brown is five years old and recalls the night his mother 'sets fire to an apartment building down the street,' an act that splinters the family, later leading to their destruction. In 'The Facts,' he is a young writer and professor 'afraid to step out of the darkness' and confront his double life as an addict. In 'Daisy,' Brown purchases a Vietnamese potbellied pig for his wife to atone for his sins, only to find himself engaged in a furious battle of man versus beast with the pig's bulk growing in direct proportion to the tensions in his marriage.
