From the Author
It is quite common for children born in Canada of immigrant parents to have a struggle when trying to convince their parents and grandparents, whose ways and traditions are a strong reflection of their cultural upbringing and background, to be more liberal in their thinking. Most often the children rebel but sometimes, as in the case of this young man, understanding is found and the outcome can be quite surprising.
