Reviews
Praise for Mother, Mother: 2014 Winner of the Alex Award "Superbly unsettling...Provocative...A haunting meditation on family, love and unimaginable loss...A firecracker thriller full of whip-smart psychological insights." --San Francisco Chronicle "Zailckas is a writer to watch and treasure...fiercely disturbing...one of the most profound and insightful books about mother-child relationships when they go devastatingly wrong." --Dallas Morning News " It is a while since I've read anything as darkly funny as Koren Zailckas's Mother, Mother ...Superbly paced and structured, with dialogue worthy of Lena Dunham, Mother, Mother is an engrossing, and finally shocking, read." -- The Guardian (UK) "Koren Zailckas's Mother Mother is disturbing in the best possible way: believably. The slow, subtle darkness at the core of this book starts as a trickle and grows to a flash flood, and not once does it stop feeling absolutely authentic. Zailckas has written a gut-wrenching exploration of narcissism, dependence and family. It's an amazing book." - Kelly Braffet, author of Josie and Jack and Last Seen Leaving "A riveting fiction debut...it's the kind of book that keeps you up at night, featuring a mother to rival Medea or Mrs. Bates...The shocking and violent denouement shows Zailckas to be a consummate storyteller." - Publishers Weekly "Richly imagined and bring[s] to mind Susanna Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted ... An excellent page-turner recommended for those who enjoy psychological thrillers and aren't afraid of narratives that look evil in the face." - Library Journal "Zailckas crafts an intriguing mystery surrounding this family that will keep readers on edge as she slowly peels back layer after layer of deception." - Booklist

Synopsis
Gracie Mueller is a proud mother of two and devoted wife, living with her husband Randy in upstate New York, her life complicated by the usual stressors and tedium-young children, marriage, money-and she's settled down comfortably enough. But Gracie, underneath all that's marked her life as average, has a lot to hide about where she's from, who she is, and who she's been. And when Randy's failing career as a real estate agent makes finances tight, their home goes into foreclosure, and Gracie feels she has no choice but to return to the creatively illegal and high-stakes lifestyle of her past in order to keep all that she's worked so hard to have. Gracie learned from her manipulatively charming father how to steal identities in order to survive, and she eases back into her routine of lying and cheating with a wicked skillset and gritty resolve. Things begin to slip out of her control, though, when her web of deceit lands her a job as a private school drama teacher--a role that demands emotional honesty--and soon more questions about the truth of her past are raised, including all the ones she never meant to, or even knew to, ask. Written with the style, energy, and penetrating insight that made her memoir Smashed a bestselling phenomenon, Koren Zailckas's next novel confirms her growing reputation as a psychological novelist that can stand up to the best of them., By the New York Times bestselling author of Mother, Mother and Smashed comes a propulsive new thriller: the story of a desperate and devious woman who will do anything to give her family a better life Gracie Mueller is a proud mother of two and devoted wife, living with her husband Randy in upstate New York.
