Mothers & Other Liars by Amy Bourret
This was a quick and interesting read.  At the beginning of the book Ruby is a 29 year old woman raising her daughter Lark.  She also has been seriously dating a local cop. It's a good thing it's been serious because now they are expecting a baby.  Lark is a bright and precocious girl.  Life is good.  Then one day Ruby sees an article resurrecting a decade-old story about an infant who was involved in a carjacking. (The baby wasn't driving - just a passenger!).  You quickly find out that the infant is Lark.  This isn't a good situation - especially since her boyfriend is a cop. Throughout the book there are flashbacks so that we learn what happened that "fateful night".  It is about the bond between a mother and daughter and also makes you think about nurture versus nature.  I really enjoyed it.
