Publisher's Synopsis
Mama What's Cookin retells the stories of a young girl experiencing the superwoman that her mother with MS is, while the rest of the world sees disability. The short stories highlight the specific depictions of motherhood that was successfully carried from a fully disabled mother to her daughter. Each story unpacks the intersection of societal norms, media perception on ability status, cultural norms, and vulnerability to confront the ongoing challenging experiences of having a disabled parent. It is fun, heartwarming, nurturing, and confrontational on the authentic and poetic experiences in reminding the entire world (and herself) of the -ability in her mama's disability.
