Review:

.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."Man of the Family is everything that Little Britches was a heart-warming, frank, com-pletely delightful narrative. Some readers may even like it better.... --New York Times
