   Is Mama a good book?

   • Though titled Mama, the novel is more concerned with showing one woman trying to be the best mother she can be while also trying to be the best person she can be. The opposition of these roles (mother and individual) fuels much of the tension, conflict, humor, and character development that make Mama such a success.

   How many children does Mama have?

   • Mama is 27 with 5 children. I loved this book as it was Terry McMillan' first novel!!! It was the hottest book back in the day being read by so many. Also, though this is a sad situation, Mama is portrayed as one who struggles to overcome her plight. This is an easy very good read.

   When did 'mama' come out?

   • In 1983, the group released their self-titled twelfth studio album, which featured the album’s lead single ‘Mama’, recognisable mostly for the harsh-sounding riff created by Mark Rutherford and Phil Collins’ reverb-filled voice. In the chorus, he can also be heard laughing maniacally to give off a sinister-sounding effect.
