Sintesi dell'editore
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 got complicated.
And maybe you'll find out what I found out about the best kind of family, I mean."

Wrestling with God . . . Learning . . .and Loving
This is a sweet story about family, faith and loss . . . a young man growing up without his parents, being raised by his grandpa and his aunt, who isn't too much older than he is . . . and blaming God that he can't even remember his parents . . . it is a different era, a time of working on the family farm, of respecting and obeying one's elders, and going to church in a wagon . . . a gentle tale of life, growing, changing, accepting . . . I only wish is that a different narrator had been chosen . . . I would have enjoyed it a lot more if the voice of Josh had not been a woman . . . it set me on edge throughout the whole book

Loved it!
What a fun and humorous book! From the perspective of a 12 year old, life as an orphan living with three generations of men and his Auntie Lou, you are giving a perspective of life in the prairie on a farm. He goes through loss, love and awakening as he navigates growing up and possibly loosing his favorite Auntie Lou who has raised him from birth. Full of humor from a young boy’s perspective.

Another great book by Janette Oke!
Such a touching story of a family always being there for one another and loving each other. Janette Oke tells a wonderful story from a boys point of view. Grab the tissues because you will need them.

Smiled all the way through it! Well did cry once!
This story brought me back toy teenage years. My Mom had the whole series and my sister read it to me. Thought I'd listen to it as an adult and see if I still liked the story! That is an understatement! I love you these characters! This book takes you back in time and you can just sit back and enjoy! I drive a long distance to work this definitelyadey trip feel shorter!

Once Upon A Summer
Lovely, homespun tale of pioneer folk in the West. The storyline is gentle, yet compelling and is narrated beautifully.
