Is Daddy going to tear down the Christmas tree this year? This is the opening line of 'Oh My Blessed Father', the first of a two book set. It is also one of the first sentences that the narrator Benny Cooper had composed as a two-year old. From the opening line, you can gather that this is the story of a family dealing with an abusive alcoholic father. But it is much more than that. It's also about the triumph of the human spirit during difficult times through the love and strength of a family led by a loving and devoted mother. And along the way, there are a lot of good times and humorous situations. In fact, the family finds humour in the strangest places. It is a distinctly Canadian coming of age tale about what it was like growing up in Ontario during the 50's and 60's. So, enjoy the trip along with Benny and the rest of the Cooper family and you will find yourself eagerly waiting to see where their many adventures take you. In Book 2 'Dum Dum', we find Benny Cooper continuing his compelling story through the highly turbulent 60's.
