A lovely story filled with humor, wisdom and warmth. Mother Carey has four children, a very ill husband, and the inspiring love and tenacity to deal with whatever comes her way. The author paints a beautiful picture as she portrays the goodness in humanity, the joy of family, and the power of Christian love in action. This children’s classic originally written in 1910 presents a loving, serving, nurturing family as a model for today. This edition includes charming pen and ink illustrations by Peggy Coven throughout. (referenced in A Family Program for Reading Aloud)
