Critic Reviews

"[Moody] has a splendid talent for bringing the ashes of the past into life." ( Chicago 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." ( New York Times)

Delightful classic for all ages!

A wonderful account of a little man's extraordinary life, raised with old fashioned integrity, encouraging us to slow down in a fast paced world.
