The Perfect Gift

After four miscarriages, Sarah and Tom Mitchell turn to a fertility clinic, using donor sperm and a surrogate to finally have the baby they've dreamed of. When beautiful baby Violet arrives, their prayers seem answered.

But something is wrong.

By age two, Violet doesn't just throw tantrums. She attacks other children. She hurts animals. She smiles when others cry. And most terrifying of all—she never shows remorse.

When Sarah and Tom discover that Violet's sperm donor has fathered 27 other children with the same chilling traits, they realize they haven't just brought home a difficult child. They've brought home a monster.

How do you love someone who can't love you back? How do you protect your child when other children need protection from her? And what do you do when the person you fear most calls you Mama?

The Perfect Gift is a psychological thriller that explores the darkest corners of parenthood and asks the question no parent wants to face: What if the child you wanted more than anything becomes your worst nightmare?
