Don't Forget to Call Your Mama...I Wish I Could Call Mine Reviews


  • Charles Lovelace, III

    I read this book back in the 90's when it was first released. Now that I wish I could call my mama, I thought I'd read it again, reflecting on her life.

  • EuroHackie

    A beautiful, poignant tribute to his mother 🥰 At the end, I simultaneously wanted to cry and hug my own mother, who means the world to me. If you are fortunate enough to have a good relationship with your mother, you should read this book.

  • Wes Young

    Grizzard is always fun to read. And yes, I cried during this book. (Also, and less significantly, I went out for southern/soul food after reading.)

  • Paula

    I read this for a book club challenge, A Book Your Mom or Dad Loved. In this case, my dad is huge Grizzard fan but my mom also liked this book! It was a short, sweet read. Parts of it were funny (as I was expecting) but Grizzard also works through some tough stuff about his relationship with his mama. I know I was thankful I could call mine when I finished it : )

  • Kim Francis

    It's been a while since I read this one but I remember it to be a wonderful tribute to his mother--I remember some tears were shed when I read it.

  • Dawna

    I read this many years ago and loved it. He makes me laugh.
