NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Bittersweet, sexy, morally fraught." -The New York Times Book Review

"Luminous... engrossing and poignant, this is one not to miss." -People, Pick of the Week

"Fantastic... a book that feels alive on the page." -The Washington Post

The beloved New York Times-bestselling novel about young love and a big secret in a small community, from the author of The Vanishing Half.

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.

Protects your mattress from toddler spills!
Size: Full, Size: Full
Writing this after my toddler spilled a ton of water on my bed (a new mattress). I didn't realize what she had done for about 1 minute. By the time I got her off the bed, pulled the sheet off and pulled the mattress protector off, the mattress was still dry! I felt the bottom plastic part of the mattress protector and could feel the coolness of the water, but not dampness. This thing works! Note, I don't know how it would perform if I had left it for a really long time. The protector is also very soft on top, not noisy, and easy to stretch over the mattress. You can kind of see the square shapes of the protector through the sheet, but I personally don't care. It was a great buy.

Good fit
Size: Queen
Covered the mattress well. It was not noisy. Sheets are wee bit oversized and the the cover helps keep the sheets from sliding around. Kids are older so it’s more for the pets. I do recommend it.
