The English Son by Wanda Brunstetter & Jean Brunstetter

 

Book Description:  Meet businessman Joel Byler who has gotten himself into a financial bind and his eccentric, wealthy Amish father who is done bailing out his spoiled son. When will Joel learn he most pay for his own mistakes—and at what cost to his business, his fiancée, and his Amish siblings?

My Thoughts:  I was so excited to receive this new six part serial novel in the mail.
I have been waiting for this mini novel to make it's appearance on the book shelves.  
Joel Byler has decided that he needs to see the world so he decides to leave his Amish roots and go to the city.  
Much like the prodigal son story in the Bible, Joel too squanders his money and is left with nothing. 
He misses his home and wonders if his father would give another cash loan?  
An interesting beginning to the Amish Millionaire serials.  
My only complaint is that the books are only 124 pages long and then it's another month before the next issue.  
Ahhh! the life of a reader.  {smile}
I love this story....an Amish millionaire?!?!?  
To be honest I have never thought about the Amish bering millionaires.  
I guess the Amish didn't need much money because they grow and can everything or build it by themselves.  But being people I realized they have needs outside of the things they can't make, like tennis shoes or carriages. So, I love the way Wanda and Jean have portrayed a different line of thought in Amish life!
