Chere Simmons, Editor Farmer Rancher Newspaper Sarasota, Florida A loving portrait of a mother, "painted" by her Youngest Daughter. MAMA is strong, tough and a little prickly, but as soft as warm rain, molded by reality but not made harsh by it. Reading this new book brought to mind unexpected glimpses of my own mother, grandmoth-er, and even great-grandmother. MAMA is all women central to all our lives; women who used all their strength, will and gentle natures to pave the way for us. Strong, self assured, confident and capable, making something worthwhile of whatever life handed them. Barbara Oehlbeck's MAMA stands tall and bends easily. She is the model for those women - every woman - who has been the unheralded inspira-tion of countless generations. You must read MAMA.
