About the Book

Inspired by a true story, Mamas' Drama takes place from 1929 to 2004 and begins in Harriman, Tennessee. This soul-stirring book focuses on four generations as they experience the "mama's baby, daddy's maybe" condition (father's identity is questionable). Seven-year-old Josephine Stewart loves and cherishes her daddy, Thomas Sr. Her mama, Millie, reveals that Thomas is not her biological father, but she is the product of an extramarital affair Millie had with the mayor of the small town. Josephine's world turns upside down. In 1934, the Stewart family migrates to Columbus, Ohio. Josephine later meets and marries George Price, an older man who loves "pretty young things". Their marriage, riddled with extramarital affairs, produces nine children; some born from infidelities. Josephine keeps secret the fathers' identities of children born outside of her marriage. Her daughter, Suzette, taunted by siblings and questioned by others, seeks the truth about her biological father. She is determined to break the generational "mama's baby, daddy's maybe" curse when she marries and has a son, Devon. Devon becomes a single father while in college, adding another layer to this story. Compelling and inspiring, Mamas' Drama painfully and honestly conveys the actions and consequences of guilt and shame. A universal story, this historical fiction is a reality for many generations-past and present. Emotions become unbridled as this poignant and entertaining book cries out stories most families hide--and some still whisper. Healing, forgiveness, love and redemption lie within these pages for those directly and indirectly affected by the "mama's baby, daddy's maybe" condition. Will the generational curse be broken, or will it continue to be this family's legacy?
