Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it's not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance - and the subsequent cover-up - will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully manoeuvre and dogged by the constant, nagging question: what if they had chosen differently?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn entrancing, lyrical prose, \u003cem\u003eThe Mothers\u003c\/em\u003e asks whether a 'what if' can be more powerful than an experience itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pansing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50110441750774,"sku":"9780349701493","price":59.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/8050\/3286\/files\/81qJinVmiDL._SL1500.jpg?v=1773548106","url":"https:\/\/shop.litbooks.com.my\/products\/9780349701493","provider":"Lit Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
