Canadian Authors Association Literary Award winner for Best Drama This comedy by the author of Toronto at Dreamer’s Rock and Education Is Our Right is about love, family, and what to do with too much beer. Set on a reserve, it follows the plight of Martha, a church-going, teetotaling woman who finds herself stuck with 143 cases of beer after a church fundraiser fails. She decides to bootleg the beer, to the horror of her son Andrew, nicknamed Blue, who is a special constable on the reserve. Meanwhile, Andrew has fallen for a young woman he thinks is his cousin, and his sister Marianne is bored with her “Indian Yuppie” husband and finds herself attracted to a handsome dancer at the powwow. The pace is fast and vigorous in this romantic situation comedy. Reviews: “It’s sole purpose is to make us laugh and it succeeds…It should be no surprise that this is a comedy of character and situations. Herein lies the strength of Taylor’s writing. He has vividly created some of the characters. We know from the first moment that we are going to be entertained. Taylor has invited us into his home an offered us a glimpse of Reserve life through a uniquely comic eye.” — The Canadian Journal of Native Studies.
