Customer Reviews

I'm going to need to buy this again!

The storyline was just too real. I was a single parent when I read this decades ago. A shared world. My daughter loaned it to a friend who didn't feel the need to return it. I was more than upset, it was as if she took a piece of me. Yes, I'm going to have to buy this again to pass down to my granddaughter. Everyone should read this book. There's nothing like "true to life glimpses"! Happy reading!

Terry changed my life forever!

Terry Mcmillan has changed my life. I was never the one to pick up a book and read it from front to back. But then I got a hold on to Terry Mcmillan's MAMA. I was 12 years old and I read it twice. I have been reading ever since. I tell every one about her. Everything I read is based on one of her books. Or should I say that I compare every book to her books. Mama was and still is the best book I have ever picked up. I love the book! I have all of her books. I can't help book read Mama more then once. It showed me how real somepeople write. That book is so raw. I would just turn page after page and not care about the time. I would get finish reading Mama in one day. It got me reading and writing more then I ever did. And oh yeah I am now 19 years old. I have read over 100 books. And I owe it all to Terry Mcmillan's MAMA. Thank You Terry Mcmillan!
