The Ugly One in the Middle: An Adoptee's Wicked and Witty Search for Identity and Love

By Alex Stan Campbell

The Ugly One in the Middle is about Stan Campbell's wicked, and often witty story of the search for two people, his birth mom, and the angelic, sensual woman of his dreams. Kind of romantic, right? But, wait...there is humor, mystery and intrigue. Just before Stan's sixteenth birthday, his Aunt Patsy accidentally let it slip that his mom and pop did not conceive him. No surprise. Parents having sex? Quel horror His adoptive mom knew something dark, but she wasn't talking. It didn't matter much...then. Stan's top priorities of the day were drowning his bashfulness in a wine and rubbing alcohol mix. That didn't work. He threw up and fell down a lot. After leaving his rural Cape Breton home, Stan found periods of sobriety, interrupted by evenings of alcoholic blackouts, and the end of virginity, culminating in a terror-filled evening of lust. Stan's story is roller-coaster of multiple marriages, followed by multiple divorces, caused mostly by multiple affairs while pursuing a career as a big city radio DJ.
