Having just been stood up by the guy in her (Rosie's) life, the siblings decide to take the train to Bristol, a big adventure for them. Entering a dingy pub for lunch, the girls see two men playing darts - Garry and Fred. Garry, 25, takes a liking to Rosie and the feeling is mutual. After a couple of months of seeing each other the obvious happens. After giving herself fully to him, Garry turns up unexpectedly (remember she lived in Bath and he lived in Bristol - approximately 30 miles) asking to borrow 200 pounds, a lot of money back in the early 80's. The warning signs were there but Rosie was so in love she ignored/pushed them away. They married on July 2nd, 1983. Garry had started drinking more heavily before the wedding but Rosie thought it was wedding jitters and that he would stop after the big day.Several stresses - infertility, financial etc. impact their young married lives but it is not until quite a long time into their marriage that Rosie suddenly realizes that Garry has a serious problem. In many ways their marriage is a good one and their love is strong but that slow (yes it wasn't immediate) slip down the road to alcoholism really put a strain on Rosie and their relationship.How do things progress? How does Rosie handle having an alcoholic husband? This author's story written in the first person is mostly well-written i.e not that many editing errors. Although a little long winded at times it is never enough to turn you off the book. There is the odd swear word but not enough to be distracting. Yes, there are bedroom/love scenes but no real detail leaving that to the imagination of the reader. For those readers who have been in Rosie's shoes, you will understand exactly why she did what she did. This book may even help those who maybe are at the beginning of this slope to see how a loving husband (or wife for that matter) can totally change when alcohol takes over. Maybe it will help you do things differently before endangering yourself. For those of us who have never had to experience that, it is an eye opener to the why's and wherefore's. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I want to thank the author for being so open and honest in sharing her story. I would recommend this to others. Thanks, Liz

By Charity Rowell-Stansbury I received a free e-copy in exchange for an honest review.Based on a true story, Sunshine and Tears is an open, honest, and believable glimpse of how alcoholism affects the lives of alcoholics and the people around them.O'Neill does an excellent job of portraying the characters realistically to demonstrate how alcoholism escalates over time. Rosie initially dismisses her concerns over Garry's drinking, but then discovers how much he is drinking when she is not around.I like that O'Neill did not portray Rosie as weak or silly. Rosie is your average bright gal who just happens to find herself in a bad situation. She learns more about alcoholism, and really tries to find ways to support Garry as he battles the addiction; however, she eventually realizes that nothing she does will make Garry give up alcohol.Keeping true to the story's realism, O'Neill does not write in a happy ending for the couple. I do not want to completely spoil the ending, but I was impressed that she did not shy away from writing an ending that really demonstrates the long-term effects of alcoholism.Sunshine and Tears is a compelling story that will inspire other women who, like Rosie, are coming to terms with their spouses' addictions. If you know someone who lives with a loved one who has an addiction, I recommend that you read this to gain an understanding of how the addiction affects the addict's friends and family.

A Clear-Eyed Look at Love, Marriage and Alcoholism By Uncle G I finished reading this book over a week ago and I have been thinking about it quite a bit. It's a heart-wrenching novel about a long term relationship that goes through some extremely challenging up and downs. It reads like an autobiography. If you've had a loved one who struggled with alcoholism or substance abuse you know how intense and on-going the battles can be. This story may hit very close to home. If you have not had a loved one who struggles with addiction, this story will open your eyes to the depths to which people and their relationships can sink. The author does not hold back. The story is extremely realistic in the portrayal of some some very difficult real-life situations. The range of emotional experiences makes this a complete novel. The characters are all well rounded and live through an extreme range of good times and bad. As the story goes on, the drama and action pick up and your connection to the characters deepens.
