In the heartwarming tale of Mother Carey’s Chickens, we follow the enduring spirit of the Carey family as they navigate life after Captain Carey embarks on a long, uncertain journey. Although they strive to remain a united family, the absence of their father creates an undeniable void. As they cling to cherished memories of his love and guidance, the Careys resolve to embody what their mother calls the three Bs—brave, bright, and busy. This poignant story, penned by the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, chronicles a widow and her four children who, facing financial hardships, must leave their beloved home and start anew in the quaint “Yellow House” of turn-of-the-century Beulah, Maine. Fans of the Disney movie “Summer Magic,” featuring Hayley Mills, will find this tale a charming and nostalgic exploration of resilience and family ties.
