Full of courage and strength, this remarkable memoir follows the
life of Randy Hartman from his upbringing in an abusive,
dysfunctional family to a successful military and mental health
career.
Born in the rural town of Guernsey, Wyoming, during the 1950s,
Randy grew up with three brothers and a hardworking mother and
father. He enjoyed running around the small community and getting
into innocent trouble with his brothers and friends, but things
were difficult at home. His mother died in 1961 and suddenly,
Randy's abusive, alcoholic father was trying to raise the family
with little success, moving the boys around constantly and
consorting with different women.
Once he was old enough, Randy escaped his miserable home life
and joined the military, got married, and started a family. But
numerous problems continued to plague him, including his own bout
with alcoholism, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and infidelity.
When he and his wife were divorced, Randy hit bottom. Yet he
refused to give in to despair, and went on to overcome his
addictions, eventually going to college and earning a master's
degree and a PhD.
A true story of anger, shame, happiness, and hope, "Raising
Randy" delivers a compelling picture of one man's struggle to
overcome the past and create a meaningful future.
