Full Circle (The Button Boy Trilogy Book 3)

In the sweeping conclusion of The Button Boy Trilogy, we are reminded of how, during the Great Depression, a runaway boy named Josiah Howard was given a home by the kindhearted Schmidt couple. Josiah was taught the old-world trade of clay button making that had been in the Schmidt family for generations in Germany and America.

As the boy grew, he knew his future would be in buttons. He loved the feel, the smell, and making clay buttons. Josiah became skilled at making clay buttons by remembering what he was taught . . . that patience and practice create perfection. Those early life lessons stayed with him and helped lead to his business success.

With help and mentoring, Josiah built a national brand of clay buttons. His company, The Button Boy, eventually expanded into other materials, styles, and products. With the help of his wife, his children, and trusted friends, The Button Boy thrived and became a household name, symbolizing excellence and tradition in buttons across the United States.

Josiah has everything he’s ever wanted, but his life is suddenly turned upside down as he must face his worst fear. His life and the life of The Button Boy could both be in jeopardy if he makes the wrong decision.

This final book in The Button Boy Trilogy chronicles the love between a man and a woman in tender and humorous ways. It takes you behind the scenes of business and the business of button making itself. This story of Josiah and Emelia Howard’s success will certainly stay with you long after you finish this book.
