Description
One Good Mama Bone A Novel by Bren McClain is set in the early 1950s rural South and tells the story of Sarah Creamer, a homemaker left to care for a boy who is not her own. After her husband's death, Sarah must find a way to survive with the young boy, Emerson Bridge.
The more daunting obstacle for Sarah is her fear that she will never be able to provide for herself and Emerson, as foretold by her mother's words since childhood: "You ain't got you one good mama bone in you, girl." However, when a local boy wins $680 with his Grand Champion steer at the 1951 Fat Cattle Show & Sale, Sarah sees an opportunity to secure their financial future.
As Sarah navigates her new role as a mother figure, she learns valuable lessons from a young steer named Mama Red, who becomes a source of comfort and inspiration for both herself and Emerson. But with the arrival of Luther Dobbins, a man desperate for glory, Sarah must confront the challenges of single parenthood and find a way to provide for her son.
