In an uncertain economy, necessity forces Billy McCoy to uproot his family and move north for a new business opportunity. But even a change of environment is not enough to save Billy's career; the move causes more fear and anxiety than it does the prosperity he and his wife Dana hoped to find. When a door of opportunity opens for Billy, he knows his dedication to sticking it out has paid off. Arnold uses his life-tested and valuable keys to success to show readers how to keep struggling even when it seems all hope is lost.

A Faithful Proposal is an over-the-top satirical novel in the tradition of Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore, Terry Southern, and Jonathan Swift. It is at once a manic ride through the irritable bowels of our health care system, a darkly funny descent into the sclerotic heart of contemporary religion (both mainstream and fringe), and a Prozac-induced mock homage to corporate and individual greed.
