Innocent: Confessions of a Welfare Mother

Written by B. Morrison

Narrated by B. Morrison

Growing up in a prosperous neighborhood, B. Morrison was taught that poverty was a product of laziness and public assistance programs only rewarded irresponsibility. However, when her marriage soured, she abruptly found herself an impoverished single mother. Disowned by her parents and facing destitution for herself and her two small sons, she was forced to accept the handout so disdained by her parents and their world: welfare. This dramatic memoir tells how one woman finds and grasps the lifeline that ultimately enables her to become independent. Innocent offers a powerful personal narrative on important social issues. Part coming-of-age story and part immersion in a different culture, this book puts a human face on poverty.

Reviews for Innocent

[Rachel · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Really interesting, well written, informative story. I enjoyed it very much. I have to add that the narration was terrible. Done by the author, it’s usually my preference, not this time.
