Ora's Boy is a true story of a boy's struggles to survive growing
up with the prejudices of a small New England mill town in the
1940s and 50s. Abandoned by his father and rejected by his mother
was only the beginning of his struggles. Born in a highly
conservative French Canadian Catholic community, he has to overcome
inordinate bigotry to gain acceptance and approval from the very
community in which his mother is ostracized and scorned for
violating the tenets of her church....not once, but three times.
The book also rekindles old memories of historical events and
changes that happened during that era, such as; World War II, the
Korean War, President Eisenhower's election, the famous Boston
Brinks robbery, the Civil Rights movement, and the advent of Rock
N' Roll, to name a few, as the author takes you on a journey full
of twists and turns he encountered in his young life, as he
overcame obstacle after obstacle, hurdle after hurdle, setback
after setback, in his never ending will to survive....and succeed.
A truly remarkable, heart-warming, inspirational story.
