The Perfect Mother: A Novel

Description

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE SUMMER—SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING SCANDAL’S KERRY WASHINGTON

An addictive psychological thriller about a group of women whose lives transform unexpectedly connected when one of their newborns goes missing.

A night out. A couple of hours of fun. That’s all it was once meant to be.

They call themselves the May Mothers—a group of new moms whose babies were born in the same month. Twice a week, they get together in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park for some much-needed adult time.

When the women go out for drinks at the hip neighborhood bar, they would like a fun break from their day-to-day routine. But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly unsuitable: one of the most babies is taken from his crib. Winnie, a single mom, was once reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but her fellow May Mothers insisted everything would be fine. Now he’s missing. What follows is a heart-pounding race to find Midas, all through which secrets are exposed, marriages are tested, and friendships are destroyed. 

Thirteen days. An unexpected twist. The Perfect Mother is a “true page turner.” —B.A. Paris, writer of Behind Closed Doors
