Myona's Boys

About the Book

A look at the life and times of one family trying to find spiritual direction, family happiness and a sense of place in a world with little spirituality or happiness to offer. This is a story of four boys growing up during the turbulent sixties and seventies, living according to the precepts of their faith, while being drawn to a world of self- interests and self-awareness. It is a look at the influences affecting their behavior and their responses to them. This is a novel, based on life; the names of some characters have been changed to protect reputations and dignity. Some of the terms and language expressed is colorful and representative of the period, though it may be politically incorrect by today’s standards.

About the Author

F.W. Nicholas, the eldest of four brothers, puts pen to paper in an attempt to give context and humor to an age gone by. The work is largely auto-biographical, with a large dose of poetic license thrown in. He brings to the reader his considerable knowledge of industrial construction, firefighting, fire rescue and theological studies in a manner that hopefully, gives insight, reflection and humor to a world in need of all three.
