Publisher's Synopsis
Comedians through the decades have often used a mother-in-law as the focus of ridicule and jokes. But in this account, come back to another time and place where this particular mother-in-law is not the nagging stereotype. "My Naomi" is instead a one-woman force of nature: a counselor, healer, spiritual guide, cook, playmate, mother, second father, lover of people...and more. Weaving in biblical accounts and references that parallel and complement her journey with her mother-in-law, author Brenda Curtis tells the story of Della Jane Curtis and her family with wit, wisdom, warmth, and love. It's a remarkable tale of a bygone era, yet full of timeless, inspiring truths from "Mama Curtis" which have resonated - and will continue to resonate - forever.
