Items related to Mama - Root, Hog or Die
Like Mama, like daughter. Both strong and stubborn. Both as constant as each day's rising sun. In this touching tribute, it's sometimes difficult to tell which character is really "Mama" back then, and which one is Youngest Daughter". This is a book of compelling word portraits of a courageous, capable and determined woman of mountain origin, who lived and tacklead a man-dominated world and didn't give ahoot what others thought. There was no pretense about MAMA. The word held no meaning for here except as an expression in fairy tales for children. MAMA "speaks" to all of us through these ageless and poignant narrative essays, true-to-life "cameo" recollections of her "Youngest Daughter."

Book Description hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket has minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Two Chapters of MAMA have won the National Writers Association Competition/Florida Chapter "Ricky" First Place and "Cascade" Third Place. MAMA is a fascinating book, one that grabs your heart, mind and soul and never lets go. You laugh one moment and cry the next, and MAMA becomes so real you expect her to step right out of the pages and sit down beside you. Barbara Oehlbeck has created a clas-sic that will be enjoyed by generations of readers yet to come. Patrick Smith, Florida's most renowned and award winning author Barbara Oehlbeck's MAMA has touched the hearts of many read-ers at the Farmer & Rancher Newspaper. After publishing MAMA. Root, Hog, or Die as a series for several years, I know first-hand how beloved the stories are by the many requests from readers. Those who lived through the era of MAMA have warm, comforting memories, and those from a more recent era can easily drift to another place in time through Barbara's vivid descriptions. I'm sure MAMA will be well received by all who read this moving chronicle. Chere Simmons, Editor Farmer & Rancher Newspaper Sarasota, Florida A loving portrait of a mother, "painted" by her Youngest Daughter. MAMA is strong, tough and a little prickly, but as soft as warm rain, molded by reality but not made harsh by it. Reading this new book brought to mind unexpected glimpses of my own mother, grandmoth-er, and even great-grandmother. MAMA is all women central to all our lives; women who used all their strength, will and gentle natures to pave the way for us. Strong, self assured, confident and capable, making something worthwhile of whatever life handed them. Barbara Oehlbeck's MAMA stands tall and bends easily. She is the model for those women - every woman - who has been the unheralded inspira-tion of countless generations. You must read MAMA. Patty Brant, Editor Caloosa Belle Newspaper LaBelle, Florida.
