HEADLINE TK.
When Lucy Mendoza vanishes, leaving her baby behind in a public parking lot, the news quickly makes national headlines. Lucy's best friend Michelle is devastated. But Michelle may have information that could complicate the investigation: one night, Lucy confessed something unspeakable: she regrets becoming a mother, so much that she's fantasized about faking her own kidnapping. Michelle is torn—it felt like Lucy was simply confiding her temporary unhappiness, and surely she loves her daughter too much to leave her. But could Lucy have been revealing a long-simmering plan for escape?
Another local woman, Julia, is struggling with new motherhood and her marriage. Julia becomes fascinated—and soon obsessed—with Lucy's disappearance. Will Lucy be reunited with loved ones, or be another tragic statistic of a woman, lost? These women’s lives are swept up into the disappearance that has the nation talking and wondering--what happened to Lucy Mendoza?
Her One Regret will have readers debating myriad hot button topics: motherhood, womanhood, marriage, affairs, the extent to which we’ll go to save ourselves and those around us, and a subject our culture and society have rendered nearly verboten—the possibility that a woman might regret having a child.
