What would you do to save your child?

Bree Cabbat has created a wonderful life. Her marriage is passionate, the relationship with her teen/tween daughters is strong, and she adores her infant son. When her child disappears, she's terrified and willing to do anything to get him back ... but is she?

Mother May I confirms Joshilyn Jackson's skills as an author of suspense as well as women's fiction. The tension in this plot begins early and is maintained throughout - some twists and turns definitely surprised me. The joys and hardships of motherhood are explored from several points of view.

The audiobook is read by the author; as a professional narrator, her delivery is excellent, but her voice is so distinctive, most of the female characters sound exactly the same.

Trigger warnings: Kidnapping, child abuse, substance abuse, rape, suicide

I don't know how to review this one so-----

It moves very slow to get the story going and it's so ridiculous in places--a mother does not report her child kidnapped? she proceeds to do the bidding of the kidnapper and kills someone?

All this takes place in just a couple of days, I skipped a lot of pages in this books as it has a lot of background stories that just wasn't needed, some of it was but most of it wasn't necessary, I found the pages of the 'why' behind the kidnapping and skimmed forward from there, however, there did come a twist at the end that I didn't see coming

So it turned out to be an okay book but has too many pages of 'nothing' that can be skipped
