When former CIA operative Meg Dalton learns a shocking clue suggests her long-missing daughter might still be alive, she’s forced into a desperate, high-stakes search for the truth. Fifteen years after little Ivy vanished without a trace at a Texas fair, Meg has built a career as a covert “operator” — a soldier-for-hire who takes on dangerous black ops missions for the government.
But during a botched assignment in Los Angeles, Meg encounters a woman wearing her daughter’s distinctive butterfly necklace, and everything she believes unravels. As Meg defies her handlers and goes rogue to chase the lead, she’s thrust into a deadly conspiracy linking global espionage, human trafficking, and her own past sins.
Hunted by both her employers and foreign agents, Meg must decide how far she’s willing to go— and what lines she’ ll cross— to uncover the truth and reclaim her child.
Mother May I is a gripping, emotionally charged thriller about loss, obsession, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughter.
