Description

Blythe Connor is determined to become the loving, attentive mother she never had, but from the beginning, her daughter Violet seems different—and Blythe cannot shake the feeling that something is deeply wrong. As her husband dismisses her concerns, Blythe is left questioning her instincts, her memories, and the reliability of her own perspective. When the birth of her son brings the connection she has longed for, a devastating event forces her to confront the tangled legacy of family, motherhood, and inherited trauma. A tense, psychologically charged novel, this is an incisive exploration of maternal identity, the pressures placed on women, and the dangerous consequences of refusing to believe them.
