Joel, the youngest son of Eustace and Effie Byler, never cared for hard work. Leaving his Amish community, he quickly discovers that life as an Englischer is not as easy, nor as inexpensive as he thought. Splurging on a Corvette instead of paying his creditors, Joel is forced to return home to ask his father for a loan to keep his floundering construction business afloat. Knowing how irresponsible Joel is with money, his father refuses. Joel is desperate, but selling his Corvette is nowhere in his plan to bail himself out. With this title, Brunstetter (The Gift) and her daughter-in-law, Jean, launch a six-part serial novel that follows the Bylers and their wayward son; the first four books will be issued on a monthly basis. The tense tone and cliff-hanger ending is the perfect segue to the next release, The Stubborn Father.
VERDICT Lovers of all things Amish and fans of the Brunstetters will delight in this quick read and look forward to the next release in the series. [Previewed in Julia M. Reffner's "Trials and Tribulations" Genre Spotlight feature, LJ 11/15/15.]
