Mary B. Addison killed a baby. Allegedly. She didn't say much in that first interview with detectives, and the media filled in the only blanks that mattered: A white baby had died while under the care of a church-going black woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public convicted Mary and the jury made it official. But did she do it? She wouldn't say. Mary survived six years in baby jail before being dumped in a group home. The house isn't really "home" -- no place where you fear for your life can be considered a home. Home is Ted, who she meets on assignment at a nursing home. There wasn't a point to setting the record straight before, but now she's got Ted -- and their unborn child -- to think about. When the state threatens to take her baby, Mary must find the voice to fight her past. And her fate lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But who really knows the real Mary?

Whoa submitted by majean on July 22, 2018, 12:34pm I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by the fabulously talented Bahni Turpin. I never knew quite where this story was taking me, but I was so there for the ride. The ending made my jaw drop. Not what I was expecting.

Keeps you guessing submitted by Jinxyluis on July 22, 2018, 4:06pm This book was so hard to put down or stop thinking about. Even though the subject matter was constantly awful, I was captivated by Jackson's writing and constantly on my toes, kept guessing in the best book way.

Cool submitted by avgriffith on August 10, 2020, 9:02am Good book. Tiffany D. Jackson is a great author with a lot of depth and her books are very powerful.
