Mary Emma Moody, widowed mother of six, has taken her family east in 1912 to begin a new life. Her son, Ralph, then thirteen, recalls how the Moodys survive that first bleak winter in a Massachusetts town. Money and prospects are lacking, but not so faith and resourcefulness.
"Mother" in Father and I Were Ranchers and Man of the Family, Mary Emma emerges fully as a character in this book, and Ralph, no longer called "Little Britches," comes into his own. The family’s run-ins with authority and with broken furnaces in winter are evocative of a full and warm family life.
"It's not just a story to read - it is an experience. And when you've read it, you'll be filled with wonder -- at how little you love God, and how much He loves you."
-- Ethel Barrett, 1969.
