Dad Was a Carpenter
Blueprints for a Meaningful Life by Kenny Kemp
Alta Films Press, 2008
110 pages, softcover, 4.5"x7"
$7.00 plus $3.00 shipping
Kenny Kemp raised his father’s garage door and began cleaning out what O. C. Kemp had spent 40 years filling up. It was four months after his death from Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a troubled time in which no answers were forthcoming. Why him? Why now? Why, God? But as Kenny worked, the answers slowly came, preserved in mayonnaise jars of straightened nails; hidden in workbench drawers; secreted in worn tools—relics which spoke in silent eloquence of the greatness of a man who didn't know he was.
The story of a father, a son, and the meaning of life. A companion piece to Flying with the Flak Pak.
Winner of the Grand Prize in the International Self-Published Book Awards.
