Sure, his family isn't typical—Josh knows that. He's a twelve-year-old orphan being raised by his eighteen-year-old aunt. When Grandpa and Uncle Charlie start making plans to find Auntie Lou a husband—and take away the only mother Josh has ever known—he knows something has to be done. His family has shaped the young man he has become. Now, as he grows into manhood, he begins to face important questions about life, love, and faith. How can he find his way when his whole world threatens to come apart?

Trying desperately to cling to the life he's always had, Josh does what he can to keep his aunt single. But when a preacher comes along, Josh sees that things are going to get complicated.

This heartwarming story is full of love, humor, and inspiring faith.

If you need something happy to dwell on or if you’re feeling disillusioned, this book is so easy to listen to and it reminds you that there still are good people and simple joys in life. The narrator did a great job.

Good old fashioned story!

I really loved this store, and only used audible when I wanted to "keep reading", hands free. I did not like the way this book was broken up for the audio files. it said there were 6 chapters, and so 28 chapters were divided into six audio files, which made it difficult to find my place, as I was reading primarily and really only listened to 4-5 chapters of the whole book on here.

overall very good. a great, wholesome book for families who like to listen/read together with their children.

great book!
