THE GOOD MOTHER is a gripping psychological thriller about how far a mother will go when her past comes back to destroy her future.

When Jenna Morrissey’s husband is accused of an affair with his paralegal and fired in disgrace, her life begins to unravel. But nothing prepares her for the moment her daughter disappears.

With the police closing in and suspicion mounting, Jenna races to find her child only to realize the truth is far more personal than she ever imagined.

As Jenna digs for answers, she is forced to confront a past she thought was long buried and a chilling someone out there wants revenge.

Someone who knows her darkest secret.

And they won’t stop until Jenna loses everything.

Dark, emotional, and relentlessly suspenseful, The Good Mother is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lucinda Berry, and John Marrs.
