LITTLE BRITCHES

LITTLE BRITCHES by Ralph Moody

Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers is an excellent autobiography by Ralph Moody. I love the opening sentence. "I never really knew Father very well till we moved to the ranch on the Fort Logan- Morrison road, not far from Denver." From here we launch into the story of 8-year-old Ralph and his family leaving the city life for a life on a ranch due to his father's health concerns. What follows is a series of Ralph's adventures and how he grows and matures through them. Some stories are funny. Some are heartbreaking. Ranching is not an easy life, and because of this readers are pulled in and develop a deep respect for Ralph. Very well written.

HEADS UP- One of the neighbors tends to put a few swear words in when he talks.
