Mama's Bank Account

Mama's Bank Account by Kathryn Forbes, 204 pp.

This was a re-read of a book I re-discovered while trying to find immigrant themed 'staff picks' titles. I think I first read this back in high school because it was the book that inspired one of my favorite old movies: "I Remember Mama." I have to admit that while reading it the pictures in my mind were of Irene Dunne (Mama), a young Barbara Bel Geddes (Katrin), Oskar Homolka (Uncle Chris), & Ellen Corby (Aunt Trina aka Grandma Walton). And, Marilyn, the JF copy needs replacing. Badly.
