Mothers are everything. They love us, protect us, and shape the world around us. A good mother makes us feel safe. A perfect mother makes sure we never have to question anything at all. Rosie Harding’s mother, Jessie, is perfect. Devoted, gentle, endlessly kind. She has shielded Rosie from cruel family members, from the world’s sharp edges, from people who don’t love the way she does. With her mother beside her, Rosie has never needed to doubt, never needed to be afraid. But what do you do when the person who keeps you safe is the one who’s keeping you trapped? When the memories don’t fit, but the love feels real? When the truth stares you in the face— But the only thing you want to believe is What She Said.
