Mama (Chivers Sound Library American Collections (Audio))

Summary: Mama mirrored segments of my life.
Review: Terry McMillan put much of my life into words with Mama. This book helped me realize there is a purpose for everyone, and sometimes our problems are not so unique. It helps you get over yourself and start to look for your own answers, instead of snuggling up with your all-too-familiar problems. Viscious circles will allow you to fester and die, not far from where you began, but a straight path from here will at least get you somewhere else. Although, Waiting to Exhale, is not a "sequel" it does seem to progress to the next phase of life for young black women, therefore, I would begin the Terry McMillan experience with Mama, and then read Waiting to Exhale, following with either How Stella Got Grove Back or Disappearing Acts. In all honesty, I was disappointed in the movie Waiting to Exhale, it does not substitute for the book. Each woman is more evolved in the book, however Angela Bassett did handle her business!

Summary: One of the best books ever written!!!
Review: This book has been read by me, for four years straight, every summer!!! This book is just like the relationship with me and my moteher. I thought that Mildred's action and thoughts on how to raise and love her children were mirror-like compared to the relationships of those today! THis is a page-turner from beginning to end! Read and enjoy!
