Joe MacElhone was never supposed to write a book. He was just a regular Glasgow storyteller who spent his days working the shipyards, driving private hire taxis, and sharing laughs over pints of lager at The Quaich. But life has a funny way of shifting underneath your feet when you least expect it.
He has survived more than his fair share of storms, yet nothing could prepare him for the ultimate test: waking up from a three-day induced coma in a Spanish hospital, fighting for his very breath.
Spurred by his family to finally put pen to paper, The Truth (Well, Nearly)is a beautifully raw, laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply moving memoir about the fragile nature of health, the enduring power of family, and the dark Scottish humor that keeps you afloat when everything else is sinking.
