Blood
From a Stone: A Memoir of How Wine Brought Me Back from the Dead by Adam
McHugh 272 pages
This
is one of those books that I picked up for the title and bought for the first
sentence: “This is the story of how wine brought me back from the dead.” To my
embarrassment, I had not bothered to notice the book’s subtitle; but even if I
had, I probably would have not even bothered to read the first sentence, just
bought it.
Adam
McHugh was a hospice chaplain who worked nights. No wonder he was depressed.
That’s a really tough gig. And it’s no wonder that he started drinking with
wine being the beverage of choice.
I’m
not sure what I thought this book was going to be about, but it wasn’t a
history of wine and winemaking. It was so dry, I could barely stay awake to
read it.
Blood From a Stone: A Memoir of How Wine
Brought Me Back from the Dead receives
2 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
