*Lovey Mary is a sequel to Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. It is about an orphaned girl named Lovey Mary who runs away from her orphanage (with a toddler) and is taken in by a woman named Mrs. Wiggs in an area of urbanized Kentucky known as the Cabbage Patch, an area which was inspired by Rice's personal experiences growing up in Kentucky. The novel is largely dramatic however it features comic relief through jokes and sarcasm among those that Lovey Mary meets in the Cabbage Patch. 

While not as successful as Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, Rice's 1903 novel was well-enough received to be both dramatized and adapted into a film in 1904 and 1926 respectively. (Wikipedia)
