Ashley Audrain's debut novel The Push is a tense psychological drama that dismantles one woman's experience of what she expected being a mother would be like, versus what it really is, and gives readers a glimpse into what actually happens inside what appears to be the most idyllic home and family.

The Push is an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.

Ashely Audrain discusses her debut novel with Toronto Star books editor, Deborah Dundas.
