Mumentous – Amy J. Schultz – Hard Cover Book

Official Autographed Copy of the Award Winning Book by Amy J. Schultz,  ‘Mumentous’

“The closest you’ll ever get to seeing someone actually wear their hearts on their sleeves is in Texas, every fall, at the local high school homecoming game.

They’re homecoming mums; as bodacious as football, irresistible as a juicy rumor, and deep as a mama’s love. Over one hundred years ago, a mum was a simple chrysanthemum corsage that boys gave to girls before the big football game. Today, “mum” has transformed from an abbreviation to a complicated shorthand for an eye-popping tradition as ingrained in the Texas culture as it is confounding to outsiders.

Through memoir-style storytelling and photography from across and beyond the Lone Star state, Amy J. Schultz takes us deep in the heart of mum country. You’ll meet kids who wear them, and critics who decry them as just another example of consumerism gone wild. But mostly you’ll discover that like every other ritual which stands the test of time, someone is keeping the tradition alive. Someone like mom.”
