"Wake up, you filthy beasts!" Wendy Hamill would shout to her children in the mornings before school. Startled from their dreams, Kirk and his two brothers couldnt help but wonder--would they find enough food in the house for breakfast? Following a rancorous split from New Yorks upper-class society, newly divorced Wendy and her three sons are exiled from the East Coast elite circle. Wendys middle son, Kirk, is eight when she moves the family to her native Bermuda, leaving the three young boys to fend for themselves as she chases after the highs of her old life: alcohol, a wealthy new suitor, and other indulgences. After eventually leaving his mothers dysfunctional orbit for college in New Orleans, Kirk begins to realize how different his family and upbringing is from that of his friends and peers. Split between extreme privilege--early years living in luxury on his familys private compound--and bare survival--rationing food and water during the height of his mothers alcoholism--Kirk is used to keeping up appearances and burying his inconvenient truths from the world, until hes eighteen and falls in love for the first time. A fascinating window into the life of extreme privilege and a powerful story of self-acceptance, Filthy Beasts recounts Kirks unforgettable journey through luxury hotels and charity stores, private enclaves and public shame as he confronts his familys many imperfections, accepts his unconventional childhood, and finally comes to terms with his own hidden secrets. Author Biography Kirkland Hamill has written for Salon and The Advocate, and was formerly the chief development and marketing officer at the National Center for Family Philanthropy.
