Book Summary
A young child misunderstands the parable of the Prodigal Son as the story of the 'Probable Son' and sets out with childlike sincerity to find wandering sinners and bring them back to the Father. Through this simple, earnest faith, the child touches the hearts of a hardened, cynical bachelor uncle and other outcasts in the community.
