About the book: year / Mary B. Addison killed a child. Allegedly. At her first interrogation, she said little, and the media filled the gap for her: a white child died while under the care of a black, God-fearing woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public accused Mary, and the jury returned the appropriate verdict. But did she really do it? She didn't say. For six years, Mary survived in a children's prison, and then she was sent to a group home. This building did not become her “home.” No, a place where you fear for your life cannot be considered such. Ted, whom she met while working in a nursing home, became her home. Before, the truth did not matter, but now she must think not only about herself, but also about Ted. And their unborn child. Faced with authorities who want to take her child away, Mary must find the strength to confront her past. And her fate lies in the hands of the person she trusts least: her mother. No one knows who her mother really is. But does anyone know who Mary is?
