“In this captivating retelling of the parable of the prodigal son, Sarah Walton helps us imagine ourselves in the shoes of the two sons, offering kids and parents a map to show the places we go—and the place we truly belong. This book will help readers put words to their wandering and more deeply cherish the love of the Father.”
