THE SAY SO

A talented ensemble performs the different point-of-view characters in Julia Franks's stunning novel. In 1950s North Carolina, an illegitimate pregnancy must be kept secret. At least, that's what Edie Carrigan's parents tell her when they send her to a home for unwed mothers, where she's expected to give birth to her child and give it up for adoption. Molly Secours captures Edie's emotions as she desperately searches for a way to keep her baby against all odds. Laura Horowitz, Rachel L. Jacobs, and Colin Martin expertly portray the other main characters who are tied to Edie's life in ways that are slowly revealed throughout the story. K.D.W.
