Red at the bone

Red at the bone / Jacqueline Woodson, 196 pgs.  Read by the author, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, Peter Francis James, Shayna Small and Bahni Turpin.

Melody is a teen but also the age her mother, Iris, was when she had Melody.  She and her mother aren't close.  Iris went away to college and left Melody with her dad and grandparents.  Although this is the story of the individuals involved - including Melody's dad and the grand parents.  But also, it is an interesting view of teen pregnancy and the effects that linger. Woodson writes so well, even if this isn't your kind of story, you might enjoy reading it.  The audiobook is well done by a cast and Woodson herself.
