I recently completed "Tamara's Child" by B.K. Mayo. It is an award winning YA novel.
I enjoyed this book a great deal -- it was intense, engaging, a bit frightening and rather sad. For me, it was a page turner.
"Tamara's Child" is an apt title -- it is the story of Tamara, a troubled teen running from a bad situation into a worse situation which I am sure is not uncommon. She is pregnant with no place to go until she lands at her step-brother's house. Her stay there was no walk in the park. She finds herself in a twisted plot situation and in trouble with the law.
Events advance, time passes, and the book ends with Tamara as a middle aged adult coming to terms with her past.
I don't want to divulge too much information because this is truly worth the read. I enjoyed it although it ticked all of my emotions but then, that is probably why I enjoyed it.
I recommend this book without reservation.

I will see if our library carries that book and if so will definitely request a hold on it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hi Granny M! It was a good book and honestly, I am sort of surprised it was classified as Young Adult -- it was pretty intense but it was good.
