"An intimate look at the making of a man, an actor, an advocate—and most importantly—a happy human being. A wonderful book that is funny, honest, fearless, and generous in its vulnerability." —Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie BainA candid and captivating exploration of identity, resilience, and reinvention, Baggage follows Alan Cumming as he navigates the highs and lows of Hollywood, relationships, and personal growth with humor, honesty, and an unflinching commitment to authenticity.There is absolutely no logical reason why I am here. The life trajectory my nationality and class and circumstances portended for me was not even remotely close to the one I now navigate. But logic is a science and living is an art.The release I felt in writing my first memoir, Not My Father’s Son, was matched only by how my speaking out empowered so many to engage with their own trauma. I was reminded of the power of my words and the absolute duty of authenticity.But…No one ever fully recovers from their past. There is no cure for it. You just learn to manage and prioritize it.

Baggage has gotten a bad rap. We think it''s all bad. We think it makes us less likely to have good, healthy relationships today. But baggage isn''t just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past. It''s the lessons we''ve taken from the pain we carry. It''s how what we''ve been through has actually made us stronger and more capable than we imagine. And it''s how we''re going to make our current relationships work.Far from minimizing past pain, pastor Ike Miller shows you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff. The intentionality you''ve developed. The empathy you''ve gained. The trust you value so highly. Miller shares from his own past in a dysfunctional family impacted by alcoholism and divorce, and his present as part of a healthy and loving family, to illustrate how to stop letting your past sabotage your present. You''ll find no platitudes or pat answers here. Rather, you''ll discover untapped riches of experience and knowledge you already have that can make your relationships thrive and change the course of your life and legacy.
