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)

Pure Brilliance!

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!

Someone recommended this title in a book group and said the audio was brilliant so I decided to check it out for myself. It was my first audiobook and didn’t disappoint. Brilliantly read and so immersive. I found myself thinking about Mary throughout the day and couldn’t wait to listen again. Some chapters had me almost in tears and others shocked. Especially the twist at the end. A great read and I’ll be checking out more books by this author.

Loved the performance, it was very good and the characters felt alive. Felt the ending was a little unsatisfying, but was loving the book up until the last chapter and a half. Despite this, still a thrilling listen, even in moments of introspection from the protagonist.

Excellent performance, good enough story.

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!
