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)

Excellent quality narration of a great book

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.

Great Life Lessons

What made the experience of listening to Man of the Family the most enjoyable?

I like all Ralph Moody books I have read. This one I decided to listen to as well. I was not disappointed. The story came through with the same strength and heart.
