With courage and compassion, McGovern addresses the private tragedy that was Terry's affliction, providing a valuable contribution to the understanding of alcoholism and personal loss.The former U.S. senator describes how, in 1994, his daughter was found dead in a parking lot after passing out drunk and freezing to death, offering an intensely personal account of one woman's addictions and a family's struggle to help her while not ruining themselves in the process.

Praise
New York Times Book Review
"...[A] father's painful, cathartic reminiscence. The former South Dakota Senator's distinguished career and accomplishments seem eclipsed by his daughter's horrifying death....[I]t is not a self-help book but rather a family drama of love and loss." - Meryl Gordon 06/02/1996 Newsweek
"McGovern's abiding love for his daughter, and his anguish at the thought of failing her, scorch these pages." - Laura Shapiro 05/20/1996 Philadelphia Inquirer
"[McGovern] is trying to make an inexplicable loss understandable. He wants to do something about his daughter's death. This can often be the motivation for good works." - Stuart Green 06/30/1996 Washington Post Book World
"Heartbreaking. 'Terry' reads like William Styron's 'Lie Down in Darkness'. It is probably the quintessential American experience of the second half of this century." - Carolyn See
