Key West Writer's Guild Review

This is the story of the music, politics and culture during a seminal period of the ''baby boom'', 1958-1962. It's an often hilarious story told from a most unlikely point of view; a precocious child born to a dirt-poor Southern woman. RAISING MAMA is a memoir. The voice is from the point of view of a child who became virtually an adult at age ten. RAISING MAMA is a road trip. Larry Sullivan, the voice and lead character, attends eight schools in five states in five years, 1958-1962. His mother's favorite husband is a career criminal and, for Larry, reality is one surreal situation after another. RAISING MAMA is an American saga. It's a love story rivaling ROMEO & JULIET. It's TOM SAWYER in Jack Kerouac's world.
