Earl describes vividly how he often stood at the edge of his life, peering in, feeling frustrated yet hopeful. The consequences he faced due to excessive drinking give the reader an appreciation of his powerlessness over alcohol and depression.

Intestinal Fortitude is a stunning memoir that’s both gritty and lyrical. Earl gets inside our hearts and souls, and lovingly shares how a strong man, immensely proud of his sobriety, family, and life journey, shares unflinching optimism. His compelling and inspiring story is a testament to resilience and perseverance. These vignettes demonstrate self-reflection and wisdom, a beacon of hope for all of us, and a must-read for anyone asking questions about their life’s purpose.
