About this ebook

“An intense investigation into the shameful truths that often lie buried within the generations of a family . . . a masterfully prepared conclusion.”—Dr. James F. Walter, author of Reading Marriage in the American Romance
 
For years, Mims buries the horrid memory of a rape and her father’s ultimate betrayal. When she becomes a wife and mother, her shame and guilt ignite with a latent anger to inspire gruesome thoughts of inflicting violence on her loved ones. One night, she stands beside her baby’s crib, her rosary in one hand, and in the other, a ribbon with which she would strangle her baby. Will she succumb to the power of her anger, or will the God of her father and her church save her?
 
“Lyrical writing and an engaging plot make this elegant debut a must-read for everyone’s list.”—Amy Bourett, author of Mothers & Other Liars
 
“Compelling characters, a powerful story, and lyrical prose—Rita Chapman’s stunning debut novel will linger in your heart and soul long after you reluctantly finish the last page. I Know Why MamaCried is a phenomenal book. Do not miss this reading experience.”—Harry Hunsicker, author and former executive vice-president of Mystery Writers of America
