Mary Emma & Company [Libby]. Bison Books, 2013. Format: OverDrive Adobe EPUB eBook, Filesize: 981kB. Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. History. Nonfiction. HTML:<p>The protagonist, Mary Emma Moody, widowed mother of six, has taken her family east in 1912 to begin a new life. Her son, Ralph, then thirteen, recalls how the Moodys survive that first bleak winter in a Massachusetts town. Money and prospects are lacking, but not so faith and resourcefulness. "Mother" in <i>Little Britches</i> and <i>Man of the Family</i>, Mary Emma emerges fully as a character in this book, and Ralph, no longer called "Little Britches," comes into his own. The family's run-ins with authority and with broken furnaces in winter are evocative of a full and warm family life.</p> <p><i>Mary Emma &amp; Company</i> continues the Moody saga that started in Colorado with <i>Little Britches</i> and runs through <i>Man of the Family</i> and <i>The Home Ranch</i>. All these titles have been reprinted as Bison Books, as has <i>The Fields of Home</i>, in which Ralph leaves the Massachusetts town for his grandfather's farm in Maine.</p> <p><b>Purchase the audio edition.</b></p>.
