Reviews

"In MAMA ROSE, Richard E. Waits has crafted a singular exploration of the search of self through myth, magic and the Blues. He looks for salvation from an over-the-top mother, whose rollicking, barrel-house exploits stand-in for a generation of women who ushered black boys into manhood. MAMA ROSE is a valentine to inner strength, a paean to the life spirit...and oh yes he can sing too!"-
