More Description She’s gone and it’s your fault. You were supposed to be watching your best friend’s daughter, and now she’s missing.
Lisa Kallisto--overwhelmed working mother--is the not-so-perfect model of the modern woman. She holds down a busy job running the local animal shelter, she cares for three demanding children, and she worries that her marriage is not getting enough attention. During an impossibly hectic week, Lisa takes her eye off the ball for just a moment and her whole world descends into a living nightmare. Not only is her best friend’s thirteen-year-old daughter missing, but it is all Lisa’s fault. And to make matters worse, Lucinda is the second teenage girl to disappear within a fortnight. The first one turned up stripped bare and abandoned on the main street after a terrifying ordeal. Wracked with guilt over her mistake, and after being publicly blamed by Lucinda’s family, Lisa sets out to right the wrong. But as she begins digging beneath the surface, Lisa learns that everything is not quite what it first appears to be.
In Paula Daly’s heart-stopping and heartbreaking debut novel, motherhood, marriage, and friendship are tested when a string of horrifying abductions tear through a small-town community. A gripping, fast-paced domestic thriller, Just What Kind of Mother Are You? will leave you hugging your loved ones a little tighter.
