Allegedly

"A tightly spun debut that wrestles with many intense ideas and ends with a knife twist that will send readers racing back to the beginning again." -ALA Booklist(starred review) Orange Is the New Blackmeets Walter Dean Myers'sMonsterin this gritty, twisty, and haunting story about a girl convicted of murder seeking the truth while surviving life in a group home, fromNew York Timesbestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson. 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?
