The Mother I Couldn't Remember

THE MOTHER I COULDN'T REMEMBER Genre >Intimate, devastating, unsettling, emotionally raw, but ultimately hopeful. Sometimes the deepest heartbreak is not remembering what you did to the people you love-and having to decide whether you can trust their version of who you became. "Everyone told her what she did after the baby was born. Then she found the recording that proved someone had lied." Eleven days after giving birth, Maya Kapoor wakes in a psychiatric hospital with almost no memory of what happened. Her husband tells her she stopped sleeping, heard voices, became dangerously paranoid-and locked herself in a bedroom with their newborn daughter, Tara. Horrified by the woman everyone says she became, Maya returns home terrified of her own mind. But then the memories begin to return. A packed bag. A custody lawyer. Deleted messages. A recording in which her husband says something he never expected her to hear. Maya was truly ill. But she may not have imagined everything. A heartbreaking psychological family drama about motherhood, betrayal, memory, and the terrifying possibility that the life you remember may not be the whole life you lived.
