Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California, Brit Bennett's mesmerizing first novel is an emotionally perceptive story about community, love, and ambition. It begins with a secret. "All good secrets have a taste before you tell them, and if we'd taken a moment to swish this one around our mouths, we might have noticed the sourness of an unripe secret, plucked too soon, stolen and passed around before its season." It is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. 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. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver, and dogged by the constant, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently? The possibilities of the road not taken are a relentless haunt. In entrancing, lyrical prose, The Mothers asks whether a "what if" can be more powerful than an experience itself. If, as time passes, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves, to the communities that have parented us, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American teenagers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage pregnancy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Choice (Psychology) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a California, Southern $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Coming of age $v Fiction. 650 2 $a FICTION $x contemporary women 650 2 $a FICTION $x coming of arge 650 2 $a FICTION $x literary 650 7 $a 18.06 Anglo-American literature. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077611985 $2 bcl 650 7 $a FICTION $x Contemporary Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Coming of Age. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American teenagers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799406 650 7 $a Choice (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00858327 650 7 $a Teenage pregnancy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145514 650 7 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156439 651 7 $a Southern California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692638 650 7 $a African Americans $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Teenagers $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Teenage pregnancy $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Choice (Psychology) $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Southern California $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a FICTION / Contemporary Women. $2 unknown 650 7 $a FICTION / Coming of Age. $2 unknown 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 unknown 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 655 4 $a Psychological fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726536 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafe 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 sears 856 4 $u http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/534018/the-mothers-by-brit-bennett/9780399184512/ 856 4 $u https://twitter.com/britrbennett?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor 941 $a 10 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240124133205.0 $n 10 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231004093519.0 $n 10 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20220207094408.0 $n 10 $p +LP+CD 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211209130632.0 $n 10 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20211201094545.0 $n 11 $p + CD + LP 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20210831090730.0 $n 11 $p 10 LP + 1 Reg. + CD 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20210805154340.0 $n 7 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20210708093840.0 $n 12 $p +LP+CD 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20210616161311.0 $n 12 952 $l BDPB251 $d 20210607150009.0 $n 6 $p +4LP 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2DFA4660AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
