Book excerpt: Fresh out of college, small-town crime reporter Cara Nielsen sees disturbing things that suggest, for the first time in her life, that evil is real. But as the daughter of two secular academics, she pushes that notion aside. When her smart, ambitious boyfriend asks her to marry him and move to a faraway city, it's a dream come true. Four years later, confined to a city apartment with a toddler, Cara fears she is losing her mind. Sleeplessness, isolation, and postpartum hormones have altered her view of reality. Something is wrong in the lost, lonely world into which she's brought a child. Visions hint at mysteries she can't explain, and evil seems not only real-it's creeping ever closer. As her marriage falters and friends disappear, Cara seeks guidance from books, films, therapy, even the saints, when she's not scrubbing the diaper pail. Meanwhile, someone is crying out for help that only she can give. Cara must confront big questions about reality and illusion, health and illness, good and evil-and just how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves. Praise for The City Mother "With The City Mother, Maya Sinha adds an electric new entry to the distinguished ledger of Catholic fiction. Hip and stylish, yet pulsing with mystic energy, her tale of a precarious young family illuminates the unseen operations of grace and evil in a secular age. Sinha's hypnotic storytelling marks a thrilling literary debut." -Mary Eberstadt, author of Primal Screams and Adam and Eve After the Pill "I've been waiting for this novel a long time-a subtle, compelling mystery that brings to life the surreal world of postpartum motherhood and reveals its link to the numinous. I'm already anticipating Sinha's next book." -Abigail Favale, author of Into the Deep
