Everyone says I killed my own daughter. My gut tells me she's still alive. I will stop at nothing to find her.

"A heart-pounding descent into memory, guilt, and a mother's refusal to let go. The mystery kept me guessing, but it's the family relationships... that made the ending land with such explosive force." —Kelsey Cox, USA Today bestselling author of Party of Liars

Thirteen years ago, Rebecca was convicted of murdering her daughter during a devastating episode of postpartum psychosis. Now, she's finally being released from the psychiatric hospital and returning to the small Texas town she once called home.

But Rebecca has a secret.

She is convinced her daughter is still alive. No one will believe her without proof—not the town, not her ex-husband, not her younger daughter who has spent her whole life thinking her mom killed her big sister.

As Rebecca desperately digs through fractured memories and long-buried family secrets in search of what really happened that night, she begins to question what she actually remembers—and what she doesn't. Then another child vanishes and all eyes are on Rebecca.

Is her mother's intuition correct or is she the monster everyone thinks she is? 

A MOTHER WOULD NEVER is a gripping psychological thriller that explores motherhood and mental health in a fast-paced domestic suspense story packed with an unreliable narrator, family secrets, and jaw-dropping twists.

Perfect for fans of Stacy Willingham, Lisa Jewell, and Freida McFadden.
