Fiction by Joshilyn Jackson
Paula Vauss was born in Alabama while her sixteen-year-old mother was in juvie. Her mother Kai wanted to name her after a Hindu goddess, but nobody listened to that. As soon as Kai turned eighteen and was released, she retrieved Paula and set out on a weird itinerant lifestyle that eventually landed her in grown-up jail and sent Paula to foster care.
Now Paula is an adult and working as a divorce lawyer. She sends her mother money but hasn't spoken to her for fifteen years. But as the reader knows, the past will often come back to haunt you...
This was a really good story with great characters. I loved it!
