Way Beyond the Spanking Stick

Book excerpt: Just as a young schoolteacher was ready to quit her career and join a convent, she goes on a blind date and meets a mysterious and energetic Canadian man. Nine children later, the father runs off into the mountains, trying to revive defunct gold mines in the hopes of striking it rich. Eventually, he disappears across the Canadian border, never to return home. With the father now gone, the oldest sibling takes charge and the six brothers each venture out in life on their own. This story is about the trials and tribulations that each of them faced without any guidance; the setbacks, disappointments, heartbreaks, fist fights, and brushes with the law, all involving extreme mischief. Would they end up in prison without a father figure, or would they go on to find success? Since comedy and humor is the best medicine, this band of brothers pushed the envelope in the most hilarious ways. Only time would tell how it would all end.
