A night out.
A few hours of fun.
That's all it was meant to be.
They call themselves the May Mothers--a group of new moms whose babies were born in the same month.
Twice a week, they get together in Brooklyn's Prospect Park for some much-needed adult time.
When the women go out for drinks at the hip neighborhood bar, they are looking for a fun break from their daily routine.
But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib.
Winnie, a single mom, was reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but her fellow May Mothers insisted everything would be fine.
Now he is missing.
What follows is a heart-pounding race to find Midas, during which secrets are exposed, marriages are tested, and friendships are destroyed.
Thirteen days.
An unexpected twist.
The Perfect Mother is a true page turner.
