The Warmth In Mama's Room is a personal essay about a young man who subconsciously still craves his mother's love and affection because he received very little of it as a child. The story speaks of a journey of healing that the author did not see coming. With life progressing slower than he anticipated, the author has to come face-to-face with that which had remained hidden because there really is no other way around it.
