The Hero of Barryton E. P. Burke

He's a hulking six-foot-four Irishman, who comes to America with his wife, Maggie, and wants nothing more than to make a decent living for his family of seven children. But fate has other things in store for Patrick O'Connor. His body is crushed, his family values are questioned, and his integrity is tested beyond belief. Can any man-even one built like a "blooming oak tree"-withstand the onslaught of the relentless adversity that this one man must face. He has only the love of his devoted family to help him. Will they be strong enough to support this giant of a man-a man they affectionately call Dada, a man known as The Hero of Barryton to everyone else.
