"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 churchgoing 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?"
My Rating: 4.5/5
This author's writing is truly out of this world! It constantly amazes me with the twists, turns and the writing is all remarkable. I just wished that there had been some different writing at the start to hook me into the plot earlier on. That being said by a quarter of the way through the book I was incredibly excited to continue on and was unsure of where the plotline was going. I think that the characters in both of the Tiffany D. Jackson books I've read have been intricately written, but also incredibly unreliable. I look forward to reading more of work and would strongly recommend them to lovers of mystery.
Thanks for, reading,
Sidny
