Aimee Molloy

Aimee Molloy is the author of the New York Times instant bestseller, The Perfect Mother. This debut novel centers around a group of women whose lives become indelibly connected when one of their newborns goes missing. This thrilling novel is being adapted for the big screen by Kerry Washington, who hails it as: “a gripping page-turner that explores the pressures of modern motherhood as well as a mother’s absolute worst nightmare.” Inspired by her own experience as a young mother in Brooklyn, the novel brings to light issues that many women (and some men) face after their children are born—navigating expectations and expert advice around how “best” to raise an infant—in addition to managing one’s career; maintaining a healthy, happy relationship with your partner; “getting back” your pre-baby body, etc. Early readers couldn’t put it down, calling it: “a fast-paced, twisty, engrossing read” (Megan Miranda); “a true page turner!” (B.A. Paris); and “a riveting mystery” (Kimberly McCreight). Harper will publish The Perfect Mother in May 2018.
