520    "A tense, page-turning psychological drama about the 
       making and breaking of a family, about a woman whose 
       experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she hoped 
       for--and everything she feared. Blythe Connor is 
       determined that she will be the warm, comforting, 
       supportive mother to her new baby Violet that she herself 
       never had. But in the thick of motherhood's exhausting 
       early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is 
       wrong with her daughter--Violet rejects her mother, 
       screams uncontrollably, and becomes a disturbing, 
       disruptive presence at her preschool. Or is it all in 
       Blythe's head? Her husband, Fox, says she's imagining 
       things. What he sees is an overwhelmed wife who can't cope
       with the day-to-day grind. The more Fox dismisses her 
       fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, 
       and the more we begin to question what Blythe is telling 
       us about her life as well. Then their son Sam is born--and
       with him, Blythe has the natural, blissful connection 
       she'd always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems to
       love her little brother. But when life as they know it is 
       changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces 
       Blythe to face the truth. Here, we see the making and 
       breaking of a family in crystalline detail, and what it 
       feels like when women are not believed. The Push is a tour
       de force you will read in a sitting, an utterly immersive 
       pageturner that will challenge everything you think you 
       know about motherhood, about our children, and about what 
       happens behind the doors of even the most perfect-looking 
       families. . "--|cProvided by publisher.
