About the Book

Snapshots from the Irish Riviera is one woman's love letter to her younger siblings, illustrating that the children of alcoholic families are forced to be adults, so they are often left to reclaim their childhoods later in life.

Suzanne Kerzner's story begins, when she and her ma move to the Canarsie Quonset huts in 1949, a tract of military-style temporary housing where missing fathers are more the rule than the exception. But then, disappearing men are a problem for her family, wherever they live.

Fatherless until she's eight, Suzanne has Uncle Mike instead, a confirmed Irish bachelor and a drinker who she's charged with keeping an eye on. After her father's return, the birth of her siblings puts her in charge again, as her parents' self-destructive drinking habits bring increasingly devastating instability and loss.

But through it all, Suzanne's resilience shines brightly as she answers life's blows with a giving heart. Through courage, imagination, and healing forgiveness, she creates her own life and moves forward to become a drug and alcohol treatment professional.

Her inspiring story serves as a guidebook to surviving life's greatest difficulties. It shows that, no matter our circumstances, each of us has the capacity to find joy and love.


About the Author: After her uncle's unnecessary death when medical professionals refused him treatment because they thought his alcoholism self induced, the author used the modest funds from his wrongful death lawsuit to become a drug and alcohol treatment professional. Presented with a CAC certificate by NY State, she worked with recovering addicts both inpatient and outpatient, trained counselors at South Oaks Institute and a lecturer for the National Council on Alcoholism.

Suzanne Kerzner worked as an educator for thirty years, and then returned to school to earn an MFA in creative writing from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2013.

Her memoir, Snapshots from the Irish Riviera: A Love Story, is a love letter to her younger siblings. It tells of her life growing up in an alcoholic family, where she was forced to take on the responsibilities of an adult and endure chaos and devastating loss. Yet she not only survived, but thrived, drawing from remarkable reserves of courage, imagination, and love.
