Product Description
On the day before Christmas, Kenny Kemp raised his father's heavy garage door and began cleaning out what O. C. Kemp had spent 40 years filling up. It was four months after his untimely death from Lou Gehrig's Disease, a painful troubled time in which no answers were forthcoming. Why him? Why now? Why, God? But as Kenny worked, the answers slowly came, carefully preserved in mayonnaise jars full of straightened nails; hidden in overstuffed workshop drawers; secreted in the worn tool collection; and waiting patiently in a 30-year old piece of green plywood - precious relics which spoke in silent eloquence of the greatness of a man who never knew he was. Dad Was A Carpenter is the story of a humble man with "poor eyesight, gapped teeth, and no hearing on one ear" who, throughout a lifetime of quiet courage, earned the respect of his friends, the devoted love of his wife, and the honor of his children.
