Mama's Child

Mama's Child explores the complex dynamics of race, love, and identity through the story of a young woman who moves to the American South as a civil rights worker, starts a family in San Francisco, and faces the challenges of a disjointed marriage. The narrative follows her children, particularly a biracial daughter named Ruby, as they grapple with questions of belonging and self-understanding amidst evolving family and societal landscapes. Over time, Ruby's experiences as a wife and mother deepen her insight into her mother's unconditional love and the racial complexities they've navigated.
