About this book

Blythe Connor is determined to be the warm, nurturing mother to her newborn daughter Violet that she never had herself. However, in the exhausting early days of motherhood, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with Violet—that she doesn't behave like other children. Her husband Fox dismisses her concerns, leaving Blythe to question her own sanity and reliability as a narrator. When their son Sam is born, Blythe experiences the joyful connection with him that she had hoped for with Violet. Violet appears to love her brother as well. But when a sudden, devastating event changes their family's life, Blythe is forced to confront difficult truths. This psychological drama explores motherhood, family relationships, and the consequences of not being believed. The novel examines what families owe one another and the gap between a mother's expectations and her lived experience.
