The Mothers by Brit Bennett
The Mothers is a surprising story about young love, a big secret in a small community - and the things that ultimately haunt us most. It is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, 17-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. They are young; it's not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance - and the subsequent cover-up - will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth.Brit Bennett was born and reared in Southern California, where she attended Stanford University and then obtained her MFA in fiction from the University of Michigan, where she received the Hopwood Award for Graduate Short Fiction and the Hurston/Wright Award for Collegiate Writers. The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Paris Review, and Jezebel have all published her writing. She was selected as one of the National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 honors for 2016.
