McMillian wrote Mama in 1987 while working as a word processor in Berkley and raising her son Soloman alone. It is a very good book. about a woman named Mildred Peacock she is tough, but so is life in fictional Point Haven. Laid off from a sucession of low wage jobs;abanded by her violent, week-willed husband,and left to feild offers from a battery of inopppropiate men etc.
