This book is a psychological story about a woman whose experience of motherhood is not what she hoped for. After her daughter Violet is born, Blythe Connor is convinced that there is something wrong with her as she doesn't behave like most children do. Her husband, Fox, says she's imagining things. When their son Sam is born, she has a blissful connection that she'd always imagined with her child. This book will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood. The book touches on many issues: childbirth, nursing, postpartum depression, failure to bond with a child, miscarriage, abortion, infant death, child abuse and suicide. Hard to believe that this is a debut novel.
