The Perfect Mother: A Novel

**The Instant** ***New York Times*** **Bestseller: An addictive psychological thriller about a group of women whose lives become unexpectedly connected when one of their newborns goes missing.**
A night out. A few hours of fun. That's all it was 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 want a fun break from their daily routine. But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib. Winnie, a single mom, was reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but her fellow May Mothers insisted everything would be fine. Now he is missing. What follows is a heart-pounding race to find Midas, during 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, author of *Behind Closed Doors* ).
**"An electrifying thriller and a subtle, savvy skewering of the endless expectations of modern motherhood." —** ***People***
