Growing up in 1970s Brooklyn under the shadow of his tyrannical father and against the backdrop of the Son of Sam murders, the Karen Ann Quinlan tragedy, and the New York Yankees' back-to-back championship seasons, Daniel Zimmer struggles to find a sense of safety and belonging. Daniel and his brother Max find moments of solace in the rebellious rhythms of early punk and metal bands like the Ramones and Judas Priest. But when faced with an unexpected family tragedy—for which he feels responsible—Daniel discovers the magical escape that alcohol can provide, numbing his pain and guilt.

I couldn’t stop listening til the end!

I found this book very entertainig, deeply insightful and refreshingly honest. Quinton Morton’s narration was also the best I’ve listened to.
In These Things Happen, Michael Eon tells the story of young Daniel Zimmer, who loses his way due to childhood trauma, a dysfunctional family, and an emotionally abusive father. All of which ultimately leads him to addiction.
There’s a little bit of Daniel in all of us. Despite his downward spiral towards self destruction, Daniel finds the courage and strength to take responsibility for his actions, which may be enough to not only keep him alive, but to also get his life back.
Whether or not Daniel is innately an addict or simply a product of circumstance, Daniel has enough insight to realize that true change begins from the inside-out.
Daniel is the epitome of what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
