Description
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? Now, with her unborn child at risk, Mary's fate lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her mother. As the state threatens to take her baby, Mary must confront the truth about her past and the events that led to her conviction. The question is, what really happened that fateful day? A gripping and twisty debut, Allegedly explores the complexities of family, identity, and the power of the truth.
