Chimara P Swift

Manna from Mama Chimara P Swift

Born and lovingly raised in Chicago, lost and callously abandoned in Los Angeles... Chimara P. Swift has seen life at its best and worst. Her debut book, Manna from Mama, fulfills a life-long quest to be heard. The stories and songs tell of her journey to claim her space and tell her remembrances -- memories with humor, heart, tragedy and hope. Interspersed are the gems -- the manna -- from her mother that guided Chimara through a turbulent adolescence and adulthood. Manna from Mama is a roller coaster of emotions -- joy and laughter, sorrow and tears -- and thoroughly entertaining, as only a true storyteller can create.
