LIFE'S A LAUGHIN' MATTER. A BRIEF REVIEW From a fire in the barn, a
ride down crocus lane, a drive to Vegas-and back-to a series of
adventures leading Benjamin Bratt into adulthood, there is
something for everyone in Jay Bernard's second book: LIFE'S A
LAUGHIN' MATTER. Benjamin ("Ben" to his friends) is a boy who grew
up on the farm. During his teens, he gets into, and out of more
troubles than one could imagine, before deciding it's time to leave
school and go to work. He tries his hand at a few jobs, and even
climbs the rungs to management, until he realizes there is no point
in all of this unless 'he can make a difference in the world'. By
then he is twenty-one years old. The path he chooses to reach his
goal, and make a difference, is to become a teacher. Going to
college, however, involves a lot of work, studying, while getting
into scrapes with the 'law and disorder' and even enlisting in the
Army Reserves-hoping to spend his summers outdoors-where he learns
to peel potatoes, among other things. After graduation; finally
becoming the teacher he wanted to be; Ben settles down, gets
married, refuses to do any house painting ( ) and cedes his knack
for adventure to his son Chris. and. after sixteen years of
marriage, Ben and his wife, Storm, decide to take a
'holiday'-alone. And that is the ride no one would want to take.
Jay's latest book is a 'must read'. It is funny, hilarious, or
dramatic, emotional, and at times, it deals with some of life's
very serious issues. You will not want for Life's A Laughin' Matter
to end on the last page. And it won't. Jay's third book is already
in the works. I can hardly wait to get into it. Roxane Christ
