Finalist #1 - Little Mama by Jeff Moonie, Jr.

Little Mama

by Jeff Moonie, Jr.

Little Mama is the story of a mother and daughter caught in a never ending cycle that neither fully understands. Although everything has a cause and effect, sadly we often fail to remember this. In an "Absolut World" we never forget.
