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 have anything positive to say about this book

It started out so bad that after 25 pages I almost quit it but I trudged onward, I finally quit at page 70

It is such a stupid plot and it just drags on and on with mind boggling nothing!

I skipped forward a few times to find out the theme and I guess it is about rape and a rich family involved of course is in the wrong, that was enough for me-----blah blah blah

Terrible writing!!!!
