Ma Jeeter's Girls

"Full of pawky observation and robustious humor. The central character, Ma Jeeter of the Nebraska wheat country, stands out brilliantly in the round, and there is quite as much reality in her six unfortunate daughters, all of whom save one get to the altar only a lap or two ahead of the midwife."-American Mercury American Mercury "Miss Thomas's Ma Jeeter is a never failing delight [in] her gusto, humor, and native good sense."-New Republic New Republic "Miss Thomas tells her story with charming humor and real understanding... Ma Jeeter and each one of the girls become lovable and live, in her vivid phrases, without any appearance of exaggeration."-New York Times New York Times
