She cannot trust her own notes.\nFor thirty years, Dr. Mari Vega has been the person Santa Fe sends its most damaged people to. She built a reputation, and a quiet kind of authority, on a single fact: she has never been wrong about who is dangerous. She reads a room the way other people read weather. Then, in one week, three new patients arrive at her practice without referrals, and the instrument she has trusted her whole life begins to fail her.\nThe first is a widow who does not believe her husband fell from the bell tower of La Fonda, whatever the ruling says. The second is a composed British lawyer who explains, very reasonably, that he wants to learn to stop himself before he hurts someone. The third is a young woman who keeps circling the same question: whether the people who do harm and the people they harm are, underneath, the same. One of these patients already knows everything about Mari. One of them has been waiting a long time to sit across from her.\nMari's case notes have always been her only weapon. They are also the only record of the malpractice case that gutted her practice seven years ago and nearly ended her. So when her estranged daughter comes home to Santa Fe carrying a folder she will not open, and her oldest friend warns her that there is a man here who has changed his face, Mari notices something that should not be possible. The notes she swears she wrote are not the notes sitting in her file. Sentences have softened. Conclusions have shifted. Someone is writing her.\nTo find out who, and why, she will have to do the one thing she no longer knows how to do: trust herself.\nTold in two voices, the clinical file and the private journal, where only one of them can be trusted, The Mother I Did Not Know is a slow-burn psychological suspense set against the high desert of northern New Mexico. It is a story about the distance between the record we keep and the truth we live, and about how far a woman will go to protect the people she loves, including the ones she thought she had lost.\nBook One of The Casita Series.\nFor readers of The Silent Patient, Mexican Gothic, The Push, and The Hacienda.","brand":"Thrive Collective Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45158670532631,"sku":"KBC-TMIDNK-PB-5X8","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45158670565399,"sku":"KBC-TMIDNK-HC-5X8","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7790\/6199\/files\/thrive-collective-publishing-the-mother-i-did-not-know-book-cover-a1b2c3d4_52f11a15-7de7-4e0c-bd36-508e6b13fdf6.jpg?v=1780343648"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7790\/6199\/collections\/CASITA_HOMEPAGE_SECTION_IMAGE.png?v=1781895667","url":"https:\/\/thrivecollectivehq.com\/collections\/the-casita-series.oembed","provider":"Thrive Collective Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
