About this ebook
It was 1966 in a small town in the heart of the Canadian Rockies when Reggie Delamere, age eleven, learns that washing dishes at the local restaurant means that he has some supper, with enough left over to take to school for lunch the next day.
At the age of sixteen, dressed in his new Canadian Armed Forces fatigues, Reggie is a few steps further along with his goal of becoming a somebody. And then, we find him at age 40, in a middle-aged crisis. He sets out for Toronto to find his foster mother and the only real home he has ever known. Little did he know this journey would include fathering two sons.
Frankie Delamere, Reggie’s son, is a wanna-be engineer just like his dad. He figured out early on that ladies-of-all-ages like a boy in a cowboy hat and he knows how to work it.
Calvin, the baby, is born to be an artist. He was drawing women’s fashions from the get-go. He comes on to the dating scene leaning toward having as many boyfriends as he has girlfriends. He decides early on that there is no need to choose one gender over the other.
In spite of all their differences, the three Delamere boys patch up each other’s misadventures as best they can. Reggie watches his son Frankie take on fork in the road while Calvin chooses a different path altogether.

I’m up to my neck in all things Irish, and I couldn’t be happier. The Irish Nanny’s protagonist, Maureen O’Reilly, is an interesting and complex character, so my hours spent at the keyboard fly by as she veers from one situation and into another.” Sandra’s earlier books include: 7 Russell Hill Road 49 Parkwood Avenue Hazel G
