The Push by Ashley Audrain

The Push by Ashley Audrain is a tense psychological drama about motherhood, family, doubt, and the frightening possibility that a mother’s instincts may be telling her something no one else wants to believe.

Blythe Connor enters motherhood determined to give her daughter the warmth and love she feels were missing from her own childhood. But as Violet grows, Blythe becomes increasingly convinced that something is wrong. Her husband dismisses her fears, leaving Blythe isolated and questioning both her daughter and herself.

As the family begins to fracture, The Push explores the darker side of motherhood, inherited trauma, maternal expectations, and the devastating consequences of not being believed.

Unsettling, emotionally intense, and difficult to put down, this is a strong choice for readers who enjoy psychological fiction, domestic suspense, complicated family relationships, and morally complex stories
