Remember Mia
By Alexandra Burt
352 pages;
Berkley
Unlucky Estelle Paradise wakes up one day in a
hospital bed, only to learn that she's suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound
to the head, her baby daughter is missing and she is
the main suspect. It's every mother's worst nightmare on steroids: Even her
husband thinks she's guilty. Worse, she can't remember what she did or didn't
do. She recalls only her postpartum depression and anxiety: "There was this
animal inside of me, created while she was in my womb, born on the same day Mia
was born. At first, it had quivered ever so slightly, then it stirred, agitated
at times, but I was able to pacify it by keeping watch. Then it started to
thrash and I felt powerless.” Committed
to a psychiatric facility, Estelle slowly recovers fragments of the fateful
days surrounding Mia’s disappearance, until finally, the truth resurfaces...that is, if anyone will believe Estelle. Skip your
morning coffee as you read this one. Your heart will pound a little faster with
every page.
