    About this ebook

    In Mama Used to Say, Hannibal Johnson flawlessly captures the collective wisdom passed from generation to generation with a beguiling blend of wit, wisdom, and insight. Following each of the heartwarming nostalgic narratives are the most quotable of quotes—the very words that echo through the memories of our childhoods.

     

    An imaginative blend of Mama's brand of comforting common sense and her gentle ethical and moral lessons, Mama Used to Say is full of insights as illuminating as they are honest. Both inspirational and touching, the book is much more than just a meditation on the timeless bond between mothers and children—it is a testimony to the instinctive capacity of all mothers to love and to nurture their children not just through deeds, but through the spirited words that touch their souls.

      The Panopticon: John Updike’s Apartment Stories

      Mar 9, 2018
