An odyssey of family, heartbreak, violence, punk rock, brokenness,
broke-ness, sex, love, loss, drinking, drinking, drinking, and an
unlikely savior: distance running.A misfit kid at the best of
times, Mishka Shubaly had his world shattered when, in a
twenty-four-hour span in 1992, he survived a mass shooting on his
school's campus, then learned that his parents were getting
divorced. His father, a prominent rocket scientist, abandoned the
family and their home was lost to foreclosure. Shubaly swore to
avenge the wrongs against his mother, but instead plunged into a
magnificently toxic love affair with alcohol.Almost two decades
later, Shubaly's life changed again when a fateful five-mile run
after a bar fight inspired him to clean up his life. And when he
finally reconnected with his estranged father, he discovered the
story of his childhood was radically different from what he thought
he knew. In this fiercely honest, emotional, and self-laceratingly
witty book, Shubaly relives his mistakes, misfortunes, and
infrequent good decisions: the disastrous events that fractured his
life his incendiary romances his hot-and-cold career as a rock
musician meeting his newborn nephew while out of his gourd on cough
syrup. I Swear I'll Make It Up to You is an apology for choices
Shubaly never thought he'd live long enough to regret, a journey so
far down the low road that it took him years of running to claw his
way back.
