REVIEW by noted author Cleveland Gibson
Mama tried to raise a lady

Right from the start I related to the high antics RD wrote about. In her book she has captured a way of storytelling which raised more than a smile to my lips. Plenty of funny scenes. Read and see. How on earth can this have happened, but then she was a kid at the time. Sometimes I feel sorry for the ’noodle’ brother who tried to act smart. Well, maybe he succeeds sometimes but I guess not when RD is around.
When a wise guy appears, a person who knows better, she spins out her own solution. Many a time may I say. And RD kept everybody guessing from the edge of their seats.
I pity the grandfather, the policeman. Well, he knows the law but with RD things change and a new family law gets introduced with rewards, mistakes and always entertainment. On a personal side I remember my childhood and lots of things I got up to. Scary things I did. But RD showed us what a little girl running around, adoring the animals with a great mother and father, a 'noodle' brother can do wearing a pink dress. Look for the snake. And Uncle Joe who said nobody could match her imagination.
It is a well-written book, full of interest across all age groups and great when you don’t know what to give as a present. One day I’ll talk to the author to find out about the nostalgia thing. That’s what made the book . And maybe find out if we the readers can look forward to more Mama stories.
