…And Then I Would Fly by Damien Thompson

2025 DBT LITERARY AWARDS
First Place: Memoir, Historical
“This is no idyllic 80s nostalgic memoir, but instead an account of a dysfunctional family as honest as it gets.” — The DBT Literary Awards Judges

As the structure of the family and his father’s mental health crumbled, Damien’s idyllic life became seedy and dangerous. Living in squalor, Damien struggled to emerge with his sister from their dysfunctional father’s grasp.
