<br/><br/> As a child, Nicola Barry just wanted her mother Monica to be normal - to make the family's meals, to care for their home, to look after her and her brothers and be part of her life. But Nicola's mother was a chronic alcoholic and there was nothing normal about life in the Barry household. Behind closed doors, Monica was drinking herself to death. - Back cover.
