(2) 4-6 Illustrated by John Shelley. Mary's father is despondent after losing his leg in a mining accident. Her mother does her best, taking in laundry and refusing to give in to despair, but it's Mary (a character based on Danneberg's grandmother) who rescues the situation. Cartoony illustrations are a mismatch for the heartfelt text, but readers won't need them to see into Mary's world.
