Joseph's Joy: The Family Man

By Betty Arrigotti

Description:

A man known only as Joseph hires on at a furniture factory that also employs convicts on a day-release program. He befriends Connor O'Brian, the owner, himself imprisoned by his pursuit of wealth. But when a crisis befalls his family, Joseph helps him realize his goals in life must change.
Chad Wilkins, a supervisor at the factory, remains in denial about his alcoholism, even though his young family has moved out. Convinced he has his drinking under control, what will it take for him to realize how much his family really means to him, and what he must do to get them back?
Devon Price is only nineteen and has spent three years in prison for killing his abusive dad. Maybe all he needs is a father figure like Joseph to encourage him to find a second chance to help his family.

Book Takeaway:

Faith and family come first.

Why the author wrote this book:

As a sequel to "Miriam's Joy!" I imagined how St. Joseph might impress upon men how important they are to healthy families.
