Mama's Child is account of any idealistic young white female who travelled to the North american South as a civil protection under the law worker, fell deeply in love with an BLACK man, and started out a family in San Francisco, where the more liberal city embraced them - except when it didn't. They raise a son and daughter, but the tensions encircling them have a poor impact on their marriage, and they divorce when their children are still young. Because of their biracial daughter, this divide further destabilizes her already challenged sense of do it yourself - "Am I black color or white?" she must ask herself, "Where do I belong?"

It isn't until the daughter, Ruby, herself becomes a partner and mom that she starts to develop compassion and understanding for the many techniques her own mother's love transcended race and questions of id.
