Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to morally grey characters who make desperate choices for the right reasons, even when those reasons spiral into something darker.
You've read psychological thrillers like Big Little Lies and want a story grounded in maternal grief rather than suburban secrets.
You appreciate books that ask uncomfortable questions about who deserves to be a parent and what love justifies.

Maybe not for you if...

You need clear-cut heroes and villains—Annabelle's choices will frustrate you if you can't sit with moral ambiguity.
You're sensitive to storylines involving child welfare and custody disputes, as the central conflict hinges on a parent's fitness.
You prefer fast-paced thrillers with twist endings over slower, character-driven explorations of grief and unravelling.

About this book

Twenty-six-year-old NICU nurse Annabelle Kaplan is devoted to the preterm infants in her care, but her own life is unraveling. She is haunted by the stillbirth of her daughter and struggling with secret debt from compulsive shopping. When a tragic accident leaves her beloved patient, Baby Olivia, orphaned, Annabelle's world shifts again. Olivia is placed with her only relative—an aunt who appears more interested in money than motherhood. When Annabelle witnesses the aunt leaving Olivia alone in a car outside a bar, she acts on instinct. In a reckless moment, she drives away with the baby. What begins as a few hours of comfort becomes a desperate attempt to keep Olivia safe. As days pass, Annabelle's choices threaten her marriage, her career, and her freedom. When a chilling ultimatum appears—return the baby or her husband Peter will suffer—Annabelle faces an unthinkable decision. The novel explores the line between right and wrong, and themes of grief, resilience, and redemption.
