About this listen
Orange Is the New Black meets Walter Dean Myer's Monster in this gritty, twisty, and haunting debut by Tiffany D. Jackson about a girl convicted of murder seeking the truth while surviving life in a group home.
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?
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's fate now lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But does anyone know the real Mary?

Critic reviews
"Bahni Turpin’s stunning narration of this audiobook at some points seems like a multivoiced performance.... Turpin excels at giving dimension to even minor characters - bullying housemates, pretentious and cruel housemothers, and the lawyer who is determined to get Mary justice.... From the gripping beginning to the unsettling ending, Turpin maintains the intensity of this compelling story." (AudioFile)

Brilliantly written, amazing Narrator
Not much more to say than the title. The story is compelling, and compulsive listening. Mary the central character is sympathtically written and the narrative voice keeps you guessing all the way through about her reliability.
The narrator is brilliant, one of the best performances I have ever heard. Will definitely be looking for more writing by this writer and more performances by the narrator.

Powerful and thought provoking
The narrator did an excellent job and really brought the characters to life. The story is very interesting and thought provoking and it certainly makes you paint a picture of the narrative being portrayed! Ending is rather disappointing and lots of questions!

Brilliant narrator
I downloaded this audiobook after seeing lots of positive reviews on a book club Facebook page.
It’s a good story, with good being the key word… but I didn’t fall in love with it. The narrator however, was one of the best I’ve listened to!

What did I just listen to?
Wow, a great listen with many twists and turns, up and downs and just an overall emotional roller coaster. It’s a goodie!

Brilliant Read
I could not stop listening once I started! This book is brilliantly written and narrated. The story told holds a light up on the harsh realities faced by so many young black girls in the US. I was disappointed with the ending as I felt it took away from the story and true to life harsh realities it portrayed. Definately worth a listen or read!

Brilliantly read
This was instantly engrossing, brilliantly read and I cared about Mary.
It didn’t in the end live up to the promise I felt it had made and I was disappointed in the way the author chose to finish the story. An unnecessary twist in my opinion.
