Fortified with Yankee ingenuity and western can-do energy, the Moody family, transplanted from New England, builds a new life on a Colorado ranch early in the twentieth century. Father has died and Little Britches shoulders the responsibilities of a man at age eleven. Man of the Family continues true pioneering adventures as unforgettable as those in Little Britches and The Fields of Home, also available as Bison Books.

"Ralph Moody's books should be read aloud in every family circle in America"oSterling North "[Moody] has a splendid talent for bringing the ashes of the past into life."oChicago Sunday Tribune "An affectionate portrait of ranch-town folk who knew how to help without humiliating, and a warm but ungushing tribute to a remarkable woman who deplored her inability to give her children everything, yet gave them much."oNew York Times "Man of the Family is everything that Little Britches wasoa heart-warming, frank, completely delightful narrative. Some readers may even like it better."oSan Francisco Chronicle "Mr. Moody remembers, and can put on paper, the terrifying passion of a small boy's heart, where there is no routine, and every victory and every disappointment is oversize and overwhelming."oNew York Herald Tribune "A heart-warming book... Little Britches' fierce loyalty to his mother is matched only by his practical consideration for his brothers and sisters."oChristian Science Monitor  Be the first to write a customer review
