{"product_id":"mary-emma-company-9780803282117","title":"Mary Emma \u0026 Company","description":"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 \u003ci\u003eLittle Britches\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMan of the Family\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMary Emma \u0026amp; Company\u003c\/i\u003e continues the Moody saga that started in Colorado with \u003ci\u003eLittle Britches\u003c\/i\u003e and runs through \u003ci\u003eMan of the Family\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Home Ranch\u003c\/i\u003e.
