"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
