Sure, his family isn't typical--Josh knows that. But when Grandpa and Uncle Charlie begin to make plans to find Auntie Lou a husband--and take away the only mother Josh has ever known--he knows something has to be done. How can he find his way when his whole world threatens to come apart?

 

 

Sure, it's unusual to have an eighteen-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 known--well, it works out just fine.

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

You see, somethin' had to be done. I couldn't just sit back and watch our family get broken up. But with Grandpa and Uncle Charlie workin' so hard to marry off Aunt Lou, I really had my job cut out for me. Then that preacher came along, and things got really complicated...
