A Drunkard's Gem: From Cups and Cocktails to Sobriety

By Shenika Benjamin

What do you do when the person you love most is being destroyed by the very thing that brings them comfort? Growing up in Jamaica, Shenika Benjamin watched her father, the man she lovingly calls Daddy, surrender more than fifty years of his life to alcoholism. She watched him stagger home. She watched her mother stay. She watched, prayed, and refused to give up.

A Drunkard's Gem is a raw, faith-filled account of one daughter's journey through the heartbreak of loving an alcoholic parent, and the power of persistent prayer. From a mother's quiet resilience to a brother's Sunday morning prayer that changed everything, this book is a testament that God's timing is never late. This is not just a story about alcoholism. It is a story about family, faith, and what happens when you refuse to stop believing in someone's miracle.

No fluff. Just truth. And proof that God still moves.
