Set in early 1950s rural South Carolina, One Good Mama Bone chronicles Sarah Creamers quest to find her mama bone, after she is left to care for a boy who is not her own but instead is the product of an affair between her husband and her best friend and neighbor, a woman she calls Sister. When her husband drinks himself to death, Sarah, a dirt-poor homemaker with no family to rely on and the note on the farm long past due, must find a way for her and young Emerson Bridge to survive. But the more daunting obstacle is Sarahs fear that her mothers words, seared in her memory since she first heard them at the age of six, were a prophesy, You aint got you one good mama bone in you, girl.When Sarah reads in the local newspaper that a boy won $680 with his Grand Champion steer at the recent 1951 Fat Cattle Show Sale, she sees this as their financial salvation and finds a way to get Emerson Bridge a steer from a local farmer to compete in the 1952 show. But the young calf is unsettled at Sarahs farm, crying out in distress and growing louder as the night wears on. Some four miles away, the steers mother hears his cries and breaks out of a barbed-wire fence to go in search of him. The next morning Sarah finds the young steer quiet, content, and nursing a large cow. Inspired by the mother cows act of love, Sarah names her Mama Red. And so Sarahs education in motherhood begins with Mama Red as her teacher. But Luther Dobbins, the man who sold Sarah the steer, has his sights set on winning too, and, like Sarah, he is desperate, but not for money. Dobbins is desperate for glory, wanting to regain his lost grand-champion dynasty, and he will stop at nothing to win. Emboldened by her lessons from Mama Red and her budding mama bone, Sarah is committed to victory even after she learns the winning steers ultimate fate. Will she stop at nothing, even if it means betraying her teacherMcClains writing is distinguished by a sophisticated and detailed portrayal of the day-to-day realities of rural poverty and an authentic sense of time and place that marks the best southern fiction. Her characters transcend their archetypes and her animal-as-teacher theme recalls the likes of Water for Elephants and The Art of Racing in the Rain. One Good Mama Bone explores the strengths and limitations of parental love, the healing power of the human-animal bond, and the ethical dilemmas of raising animals for food. 1611177464 - One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) - ISBN-13: 9781611177466 Author(s): Bren McClain One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) Bren McClain Comments for Kathys review of One Good Mama Bone: A Novel My Books; Browse Graphic Novels; Historical Fiction; History; Kathys review of One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) Likes and Comments 1 like One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) by Bren All about One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) her mama told her at an early age "You ain't got one good mama bone in This novel is beautifully : One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River A Novel (Story River Books) and over one million destination of one fateful day One Good Mama Bone opens Story River Books - University of South Carolina Story River Books Titles 2015 Foreword Reviews INDIEFAB Book of the Year Finalist for Short Stories One Good Mama Bone: A Novel One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) by Bren One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) Author: One Good Mama Bone explores the strengths The title of this book is One Good Mama Bone and it was Bren McClain One Good Mama Bone (Story River Books 2017) One Good Mama Bone Story River Books 2017 Bren McClains One Good Mama Watching cow and calf activates the mama bone that Sarahs own mother insisted Reviews: One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books All about Reviews: One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) her mama told her at an early age "You ain't got one good mama bone in you girl" Bren McClain One Good Mama Bone (Story River Books Bren McClain One Good Mama Bone (Story River Books Once in a while a novel comes along that is just extraordinary in the best sense of that word Mikkis review of One Good Mama Bone: A Novel One Good Mama Bone: A Different A good book by a talented writer One Good Mama Bone: A Novel (Story River Books) by Bren McClain (Goodreads Author)
