A comforting, lovely Christian fiction read. Josh, a 12 YO orphan, being raised by his grandfather, uncle and a young aunt on a busy farm. Coming of age story - Josh is happy with the way his life is. He lost his parents to an accident when he was very young and has no memories of them.

1st of 4 books, I sort of enjoyed it, I almost got over my disdain of books that don't set you in a certain time and place. i almost got over reading an author that doesn't add a -g to -ing words.

Wonderful, heartwarming start to this series seen through the eyes of a young boy who's had to handle far too much in his young life and doesn't want more change.

A very uplifting book with rich characters, Christian faith, and a happy ending that helps us all remember that sometimes the change we fear can be better than we ever dreamed.

Sure, it's unusual to have an eightee-year-old mother when you're twelve. But when you're an orphan and she's your aunt -- and the only mother you've ever had -- well as I explained, it had worked out real well.

That's why I got so riled up when I heard Grandpa and Uncle Charlie talkin' about findin' a fella for Auntie Lou!

You see, somethin' had to be done! I couldn't just sit back and watch our special family get broken up. But with Grandpa and Uncle Charlie workin' so hard to get Auntie Lou married off, I really had my job cut out for me.

Then when that poor preacher came along, it really go complicated ....
