Mother may I : a novel
(Book)

Growing up poor in rural Georgia, Bree Cabbat's single mother warned her that the world was a dark and scary place. Bree rejected her mother's fearful outlook, and life has proved her right. Marrying into a family with wealth, power, and connections, Bree has all a woman could ever dream: a loving lawyer husband, two talented young teenage daughters, a new baby boy, a gorgeous home, and every opportunity in the world. Until the day Bree awakens and sees a witch peering into her bedroom window, an old gray-haired woman all dressed in black who vanishes as quickly as she appears. Later that day though, she spies the old woman again, in the parking lot of her daughters' private school. Just minutes before Bree's baby son, asleep on the seat beside her, vanishes. It happened so quickly. Bree only looked away for a second. A note warns no police. No deviations. And she is being watched.
