MEMOIR
"Oh, Brother! describes the true confessions of a dedicated sister who tried to make sure her brother stayed out of jail and off the streets. Follow Anne’s attempt to deal with Ted’s hoarding and addictions to alcohol and gambling, from Ontario to Las Vegas and back. Oh, Brother! was short-listed at The Word Awards in 2019.

"Hard to imagine what the author has been through in her lifetime. Also, it is hard to think that one individual could be as dysfunctional as the central figure in this book. Suffice it to say that the one skill he has mastered is the art of manipulation of others and in particular his family members..."

"...The author has painted a very clear picture of a lifetime of frustration, not only for the protagonist but also everyone who endeavoured to help him overcome his demons. In the end tough love was the only answer. The reader is always left to wonder what will be coming next and who will win the ongoing battle of wits."

TESTIMONIALS

“Hopwood draws her readers into another time and place, with characters and stories that touch the heart and bring history to life.”
Heidi VanderSlikke, Columnist, Christian Courier

“Hopwood weaves together a moving, fascinating tale rooted in stories passed down through generations of her family. Her exuberant style and meticulous research reveal a love and respect for her past, allowing every reader to share in that gift and to be reminded how important it is to remember that we all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have gone before us.”
Sara Davison, Author, The Watcher
