( 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)

I love this book and the others in the series for the warmth, humor, in the portrayal of Ralph Moody's family. I felt like cheering when they triumphed and cried when they faced great hardship and sorrow. The portrayals of faith, kindness, integrity and courage were inspiring and believable. I highly recommend this series and the narrator who deftly narrates in each characters voice.

Excellent quality narration of a great book

Would you listen to Man of the Family again? Why?

I watch movies once; and I read books once. For me, there's too much to do to go back.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Man of the Family?

I have truly enjoyed learning of all the creative ways Ralph earned money to help out the family.

Which character – as performed by Cameron Beierle – was your favorite?

Of course, Ralph is my favorite character. I find it interesting how he talks most about the sister that is closest to his age. And I enjoy him talking about her, too.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and got teary eyed, too.

Any additional comments?

I find this series of books as ones I want to "read" to acquaint myself more with how life was before I was born.

I must "read" all of the series!
