NOW my Mama Knows...
12 April 2000
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book for lesbians that are out, coming out, and people who wonder why the hell we are lesbians in the first place. It's so refreshing to read good literature about homosexuality that is presented from individual points of views and not someone's journal of statistics. Another great aspect is the authors' viewpoints from the true emotional, spiritual, and social soul of themselves, not just the sexual. Often gay and lesbian literature is so immersed in play-by-play sex that it can be paralleled to porn. This book and the support of my partner made it possible for me to cross that road with my mother, and though we are not where I would like to be as far as our mother/daughter relationship, we have come much further than I would have ever imagined possible. Kudos Lisa! I loved and so did all my friends.

Superb
30 July 2002
Format:Paperback
"Does Your Mama Know?" was worth the time and effort that I spent visiting four different bookstores and walking a total of four miles or so. "Does Your Mama Know?" is like "The Color Purple," "The Women of Brewster Place" and "Zami" but better. Similar to these books, Moore's book validated my experiences as a lesbian of color. Her well-chosen stories highlight almost every conceivable coming out experience. Although the book is VERY hard to find -- there are only 8,000 copies floating around the world -- I would recommend this to any black lesbian, regardless of nationality.

Format:Paperback
THIS BOOK TOLD ME THINGS I ALREADY FELT INSIDE AND KNEW TO BE TRUE. IF ANYONE FEELS ALONE IN THEIR SEXUALITY OR IN COMING OUT THIS IS THE BOOK FROM ONE BLACK WOMAN TO ANOTHER THAT WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NORMAL AND YOU ARE LOVED. NOTHING IS NEW ITS JUST DIFFERENT. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL.
