Mother May I

"[A] well-written and powerfully effective story whose protagonists (and readers) end up getting much more than they bargained for."

   — Wall Street Journal, Best Books of 2021

 

“Joshilyn Jackson’s latest riveting thriller starts with a bang and doesn’t let up, asking how well you truly know the people around you—and how far you’re willing to go for the ones you love. A true page-turner that will stick with me for a long time.”

   — Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl from Widow Hills, on Mother May I

 

“Fast-paced and twisty, there’s also redemption and a bit of grace down that debris-filled, winding road."

   — Atlanta Journal-Constitution

 

"Joshilyn Jackson does it again with this explosive, white-knuckle read about a mother who will stop at nothing to protect her family. Terrifying, timely and thought-provoking, I couldn't tear my eyes away from Mother May I."

   — Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Mrs.

 

"If Joshilyn Jackson has not yet been deemed the Queen of the Twist, I would like to award her that title. I picked up Mother May I before bed, wholly unprepared for how immediately drawn in I would be. I stayed up way too late and then did not put it down the entire next day. Rarely do I say something is “unputdownable,” but I have no reservations about saying so in this case. Such a fantastic psychological mystery — I was enthralled until the very end!”
