4 starred reviews! 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?

[Hey, hey you, the book club options for February are here! I was going to shoot a video for this but I figured I'd switch it up give you first peek and put up the votes in the Discord serverright away.\ \ As some of the folk in the Discord know, I've gone full dictator for the History Sickos Book Club for next month. I was reading Fear & Fury by Heather Ann Thompson, loving it, and stopped a little over halfway through so we could discuss it next month. I'm also setting up an interview with the author for sometime in February so you can submit questions. Mine was an advanced reader copy and the official release date is January 27. In return for being a dictator on this round I'll figure something out for another month where we do something community-based for selecting options like we've done in the past.\ \ For the Fiction Sickos Book Club, here are the options with quick blurbs on what they're about.\ \ THE BLUEST EYE by TONI MORRISON\ \
In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment.\ \ THE NICKEL BOYS by COLSON WHITEHEAD\ \ When Elwood Curtis, a black boy growing up in 1960s Tallahassee, is unfairly sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy, he finds himself trapped in a grotesque chamber of horrors. Elwood’s only salvation is his friendship with fellow “delinquent” Turner, which deepens despite Turner’s conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. As life at the Academy becomes ever more perilous, the tension between Elwood’s ideals and Turner’s skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades.\ \ ALLEGEDLY by 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?\ \ CROOKED PLOW by ITAMAR VIEIRA JUNIOR\ \ Deep in Brazil's neglected Bahia hinterland, two sisters find an ancient knife beneath their grandmother's bed and, momentarily mystified by its power, decide to taste its metal. The shuddering violence that follows marks their lives and binds them together forever.\ \ I'm putting this vote up in the Discord right now! Also, if you're struggling to find access to these on Spotify/Libby or whatever you use, Audible has a deal going on right now for new/lapsed members (super full flag waving disclosure: I am an Amazon affiliate and I do earn commissions).\ \ Also a reminder that our imprints first book release, A Complement of Scoundrels by S.V. Lockwood is available for pre-order! A lot of people have asked what if there's a Best Place to pre-order it from, and while it's available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and others, I know a good deal of people prefer pre-ordering it from Bookshop dot org because it supports independent bookstores. but ultimately you do you boo. And marking it as "Want to Read" (and maybe leaving a sneaky 5 star rating/review re: your excitement level if you so choose to do so) on Goodreads is a great signal for retailers.\ \ Upgrade for $5 or login](https://kistreadsbooks.binderybooks.com/item/DTYUu78paDaDippBORyA/)
