The Inheritance of Maternal Darkness
Blythe Connor knows something most mothers never admit-that the instant, overwhelming love for your child isn't guaranteed. Her own childhood taught her this brutal lesson. Her grandmother Etta, widowed while pregnant during a Kentucky blizzard, held her daughter Cecilia underwater in the bathtub until bubbles stopped rising, pulling her up at the last possible moment. Years later, Cecilia abandoned young Blythe with nothing but a note on the kitchen counter. "I don't want you learning to be like me," Cecilia once told Blythe, "But I don't know how to teach you to be anyone different." When Blythe becomes pregnant, she's determined to break this cycle. She immerses herself in pregnancy books and nursery preparations, imagining tender bedtime moments and first steps. But as her daughter Violet enters the world, that magical maternal connection never materializes. Instead, Blythe feels dread and disconnection. "Violet cried only when she was with me; it felt like a betrayal," she observes. "We were supposed to want each other." As Violet grows, Blythe notices disturbing behaviors-refusing to be held, seeming to prefer her father Fox, displaying what Blythe perceives as calculated coldness. The question haunts her: Is something wrong with Violet, or is Blythe simply repeating her family's broken pattern?
