Mary killed a baby, a white baby. Allegedly. Charged with manslaughter at nine years old, Mary has served six years in “baby jail.” She’s been deserted in an unsafe group home and even has a work detail at a nursing home. Mary meets Ted, falls in love and soon she is pregnant. The state will take her baby unless Mary can convince her mother to tell the truth about the night baby Alyssa died. Does Mary know the truth? Is Mama willing to tell the whole truth? (Prepared by: Laura Lundeen, Aiken High School, llundeen@acpsd.net for South Carolina Book Award) |
