A gripping debut in which a woman struggles to adapt to motherhood—but before she can, her baby vanishes—perfect for fans of Ashley Audrain’s Good Morning America pick The Push.
Maggie Fergason has dreamed of having a family of her own her whole life. But in the first few weeks after her daughter Rosie’s birth, that dream becomes a waking nightmare. She finds things rearranged with no memory of ever touching them. People are seeing her in places she’s never been. And she’s the only one who seems to hear a haunting lullaby echoing through the baby monitor.
Everyone reaches the same conclusion: Maggie is falling apart.
When Rosie disappears from her crib in the dead of night, no one believes her when she says she wouldn’t hurt her child. But Maggie is certain she would never, ever put Rosie in harm’s way.
Now Maggie must fight to prove her sanity and find her daughter before it’s too late. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more lies and secrets she uncovers, reaching all the way back to a childhood she barely remembers. Because the ugliest and most dangerous truth is the one hiding in her mirror.
With the tension of Gone Girl and the emotional gut-punch of Then She Was Gone, The Mothers is a heart-pounding exploration of memory and the shattering cost of family secrets.
