After heart surgery, a liver transplant, and a bout of depression that would bring most people to their knees, Brian F. Campbell didn’t just survive—he did it with the kind of stubborn humour only a Derry lad could manage. The Real Life of Brian is a candid, darkly funny memoir about staring down mortality and finding hope in places that made no sense at the time.

Marking his rebirth with a koi tattoo and later celebrating with the Porsche Targa he never got a chance to drive, Brian shares the nights that nearly broke him, the grace that carried him, and the unexpected laughs that kept him going.

A story of grit, heart, and miracles, this memoir reminds anyone feeling overwhelmed that resilience grows, hope returns, and sometimes the only way through is with the dry, unshakeable wit only Derry can produce.
