Carol Olivia Clementine lives with Mama Rose. Mama Rose is tender and sweet. She is also as stern and demanding as any good parent should be.

Though Carol Olivia misses her mother and father, Mama Rose becomes her "home." And Carol Olivia concludes that she loves her "just like a mama."

Just Like a Mama is a sweet celebration of the heart connection between children and the forever families who may or may not share their blood, but who offer kindness, care, and unconditional love when birth parents are absent.
