Mama

Mildred Peacock is the touch, funny, feisty heroine of "Mama, " a survivor who’ll do anything to keep her family together. In Mildred’s world, men come and go as quickly as her paychecks, but her five children are her dream, her hope and her future. Not since Alice Walker’s "The Color Purple" has a black woman’s story been portrayed with such rich power, honesty, and love.
