The assignment was to find a novel written by a Canadian author. To write a blog based on the specific themes, relevance to current society, your opinion and about the author. My book is called The Divine Ryans. It is a coming of age story about a boy growing up dealing with the pressures of living up to a controlling, overbearing family, and figuring out where his place is in his new family dynamic. The Divine Ryans is written by Wayne Johnston a famous Canadian author who wrote books such as The Colony of Unrequited Dreams and Baltimore's Mansion.
