The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

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)
