Doubting Thomas is a memoir of an unusual man who defied conventions. This is a gripping portrayal of his unconventional life written with his unique perspective. It is an emotional journey of his long battle with alcohol and the violence it brought. Born in a Glasgow slum, he looks back on his life from childhood and as an adult wandering from city to city, from job to job and falling for too many women to remember. Going from boxing gyms in New York to gypsies in Spain, his striving to become a writer against odds of class and education is written with brutal truth and honesty. Interwoven are his sober years where his childhood closeness to his sister was reestablished and how he finally gained spiritual peace trying to be a good son and brother.
