Probable Sons

MP3 Audio CD. Inspired and constructed around the Biblical story of the prodigal son, Amy Le Feuvre?sProbable Sons has important messages to convey and a morality that gives the reader a lot of food for thought.

The story starts with a middle-aged man finding himself in the situation of having to take in an orphaned little girl ? the man learns and accepts reluctantly that he is the little girl?s only living relative, so he is not really given a choice. He looks after the girl, sees her grow up ? in the beginning he is distant with the girl, but he gets to like her more and more as time passes. The girl is deeply religious and keeps retelling Biblical stories, especially that of the Prodigal Son ? the word "probable" in the title actually refers to how the girl pronounces the word "prodigal". The girl?s deep faith and the way she lives in the name of that faith influences everyone around her ? the simple conclusions she draws by reading the Bible make the life of the people surrounding her much better and more true. The Biblical stories as well as the events presented are filtered through the young girl?s mind and are shown through her perspective, making the entire book easy to understand for young and old alike.

Probable Sons bears the signature style of Amy Le Feuvre and the choice of topic and characters is also typical for the author ? whether the book is given to teenagers to read on their own or it is read out aloud during a family reunion, Probable Sons is entertaining and thought-provoking, making readers laugh, weep, then laugh again and think.

Being mostly known for her stories revolving around Biblical concepts and Biblical stories, she dedicated her entire life to writing and gave the public masterpieces such as Teddy?s Button, Harebell?s Friend, The Carved Cupboard, Bulbs and Blossoms and many others.
