Mama Said: Lessons on Life

Mama Said is composed of heartfelt short, non-fiction stories celebrating the special relationship that each mother has with their daughter. Each story focuses on the personal life lessons that a Mother taught and shared with her daughter. Not the simple surface/basic lessons, Mama Said dives deeper. Mama Said addresses life's more profound trials and struggles during the many phases of womanhood. These lessons span well into personal trials and tribulations from the mother's personal life.

As transparent as the mother could be with her daughter, she yet held onto a life-changing secret. Now, as an adult, the daughter is unaware that her mother is dying from Breast Cancer. Throughout the lessons that the mother taught and shared with her daughter, clues are lightly sprinkled into the various loving moments of the mother's words until the secret is revealed. After this, the lessons yet continue until the end of the mother's life journey.

As the reader, you will laugh, cry, and reminisce about the personal lessons you've been taught. There's also a great chance that you will learn new lessons. These heartfelt short non-fiction stories can be shared with your Mother, Grandmother(s), Aunt(s), Godmother(s), Sister(s), Daughter(s), Sister-Friend(s), and their daughter(s). Let's help continue the conversation on life and the many lessons it has for us all.

Talisa A. Garcia is a graduate of Michigan State University with a corporate background/profession. She has spent her professional career in a variety of different roles working for various corporations. Talisa currently resides in South Carolina. She began her writing journey as a "punishment" handed down by her 5th-grade teacher for being a disturbance to the class. While the rest of the class enjoyed going to the gym, Talisa sat in her classroom alone with her 5th-grade teacher and was made to cursive write a five-page story by hand of her choice. Talisa enjoyed completing that assignment. The desire to create and tell stories through writing has been with her ever since.
