Dana Tee weaves together a riveting tale of a strong black woman in a time rife with unrest and uncertainty. A self-made woman who owns her own destiny and isn’t afraid to claim a future free from societal constraints and expectations. Mammy is a blend of southern humor, Toni Morrisonesque triumph and whodunit suspense. Read it!
