A Father's Legacy to His Children Was NOT What It Seemed

Commentary on THE PRIEST AND THE PEACHES, a Novel by Larry Peterson

Yimey knew the secret to life. He made sure his family and friends did too. Even when his beloved wife, Elizabeth, died, he kept the faith. But the booze dulled the pain and he used too much. Then he died and left his five children to fend for themselves. They did not understand why people were calling their dad a "great man". How could that be? Alcohol had killed him and he had left them alone. Who was this man they called "Pops" but everyone else called "Yimey"?

This book celebrates family and the Catholic priesthood. It deals with alcoholism, abandonment, pride, forgiveness and death. Yet, makes you smile in between. It also honors, in a no-nonsense,"blue collar" way, the Golden Rule. This is a unique book and is an easy read. When you finish this book you will be smiling and saying, "L-Y-N" "L-Y-N". “A father’s ultimate legacy to his children is not the amount of material things he leaves them. It is found in the lessons of love and forgiveness he instilled in their hearts.”
