★★★★★ Readers' Favorite 5-Star Review: “. . . a wry, intimate sensibility to paranormal women’s fiction, giving Mama’s ghost the audacity of a mother who still considers a family crisis her business. . . . Mama may be dead, yet her presence gives the household a mischievous form of continuity, where love still speaks loudly enough to rearrange the living. Readers who enjoy paranormal fiction rooted in family will love this.”

"Sharp, fearless, and wickedly funny, the writing crackles with wit while making room for genuine tenderness and emotional depth. Every sentence feels fresh, assured, and alive. We root for Lily as she stumbles toward the life she wants, finally learning from her ghost mother that she can make it on her own." - Lucy Sanna, author of the award-winning The Cherry Harvest – A Novel

"Mama's Still Dead uses humor to illuminate the seriousness of being human. One minute you're smiling at a ghost in shoulder pads and then suddenly you're undone by a woman who never learned how to be okay because she lost her mother too soon. Funny, sad, and completely different in the best of ways.” – Ann Garvin USA Today bestselling author of Tell Two Friends

"A humorous and affecting story, this earnestly penned novel boasts an endearingly clever narrator, a splash of Southern charm, and a trove of wisdom for anyone who feels their future is uncertain." – Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½

"A poignant, heartfelt novel set in Wisconsin about mothers and daughters, second chances, and the brighter future waiting on the other side of the past." - T.K. Sheffield, award-winning author

"Anne Keller’s 'what if…' premise cracked me up. A mother back from the dead just when she's most needed, but not changed since her prime in the 1980s. What could go wrong? Mama’s Still Dead is a witty, heartwarming exploration of inner need and self-actualization. A book for anyone who’s ever wished for what they can’t have." - Peggy Joque Williams, award-winning author of Courting the Sun and Braving the Dawn. 

Mama’s Still Dead is a very funny book about a difficult truth: after spending thirty years idealizing the mother she lost, Lily gets Mama back—But getting Mama back forces Lily to accept the real and much more difficult truth of who her mother was—and in doing so, to see herself more clearly. For me, the most compelling part was not that Mama comes back, but whether Lily will finally be able to let her go.  - Suzanne Uttaro Samuels, author of Seeds of the Pomegranate
