The Push

£8.99

The arrival of baby Violet was meant to be the happiest day of my life. A fresh start. But as soon as I held her in my arms, I knew something wasn’t right. I have always known that the women in my family weren’t meant to be mothers. My husband Fox says I’m imagining it, but she’s different with me. Something feels very wrong. Is it her? Or is it me? Is she the monster? Or am I? ‘The Push’ is a heart-pounding exploration of motherhood, obsession and the terrible price of unconditional love.
