Resumen del Editor

"Chilling, thought-provoking, and hauntingly written, Mother May I kept me on the edge of my seat with its breathless race against time." (Megan Miranda, New York Times best-selling author of The Girl from Widow Hills)

"A master of domestic suspense." (Entertainment Weekly)

The New York Times best-selling author of the critically acclaimed Never Have I Ever builds on her success with this addictive novel of domestic suspense in which a mother must decide how far she is willing to go to protect her child and the life she loves - a chilling and thoughtful tale of power, privilege, lies, revenge, and the choices we make, ones that transform our lives in unforeseen ways.

Revenge doesn’t wait for permission.

Growing up poor in rural Georgia, Bree Cabbat was warned by her single mother that the world was a dark and scary place. Bree rejected her mother’s fearful outlook, and life has proved her right. Having married into a family with wealth, power, and connections, Bree has all a woman could ever dream of: a loving lawyer husband, two talented young teenage daughters, a new baby boy, a gorgeous home, and every opportunity in the world.

Until the day she awakens and sees a witch peering into her bedroom window, an old gray-haired woman dressed all in black who vanishes as quickly as she appears. It must be a play of the early morning light or the remnant of a waking dream, Bree tells herself, shaking off the bad feeling that overcomes her.

Later that day though, she spies the old woman again, in the parking lot of her daughters’ private school...just minutes before Bree’s infant son, asleep in his car seat only a few feet away, vanishes. It happened so quickly - Bree only looked away only for a second. There is a note left in his place, warning her that she is being is being watched; if she wants her baby back, she must not call the police or deviate in any way from the instructions that will follow.

The mysterious woman makes contact, and Bree learns she, too, is a mother. Why would another mother do this? What does she want? And why has she targeted Bree? Of course Bree will pay anything, do anything. It’s her child.

To get her baby back, Bree must complete one small - but critical - task. It seems harmless enough, but her action comes with a devastating price, making her complicit in a tangled web of tragedy and shocking secrets that could destroy everything she loves. It is the beginning of an odyssey that will lead Bree to dangerous places, explosive confrontations, and chilling truths.

Bree will do whatever it takes to protect her family - but what if the cost tears their world apart?

“Joshilyn Jackson does it again with this explosive, white-knuckle read about a mother who will stop at nothing to protect her family. Terrifying, timely and thought-provoking.” (Mary Kubica, New York Times best-selling author of The Other Mrs.)

Kept my interest , great listen ,

Keep with it, it's definitely a good book. You won't want to stop listening with each chapter

Great point! No means NO!

Even person, female or male chances their mind, no means NO! And it can't be undone, once it happens.

Best audiobook I’ve heard this year!

I’m a huge fan of Joshilyn Jackson. I open each new book like a present. This one hooked me from the first paragraph and kept me listening late into the night. The author does a fantastic job with the narration, as usual.

Thank you, Joshilyn for giving us a timely, thought-provoking book with the pace and suspense of a thriller.

One of the best stories I have heard!

A daring story that will leave you wondering why the topic isn't covered more.

Another great book by Joshilyn Jackson

Love all her books
She is a great narrator writer as well as narrator. Another must read!

Another great one

I really enjoyed this story. A little different than her previous novels but the story was great! I’ll definitely keep reading all her books!

Loved the characters & narration

Story went a little long but not too much too long if that makes sense.
Great character development, realistic and authentic.

Not her best

Started out like a good Joshilyn Jackson novel but started to drag a little half way through. The remainder of the novel was fairly predictable and even boring. As I’m a huge J. Jackson fan!9

One of my favorite of Joshilyn's...

Joshilyn Jackson is one of only 2 authors I have listened to every single one of their books. I LOVE her stories, I love her voice narrating, I love her settings as I am as far away from the south as I can be. But I love hearing about the people, immersing myself in her voice and story. My life is enriched because of her writing. Thank you Joshilyn.. Chris in California.

Twisty Fun!

Joshilyn's narration outstanding! Always excellent character development & intense suspense. Loved the entire experience!
