Meagan Church, “The Mad Wife”

Meagan Church

In “The Mad Wife,” New York Times bestselling author Meagan Church takes readers back to 1950’s suburban America where we meet Lulu Mayfield, a married woman who is trying to keep up appearances by being the perfect mother and the ideal housewife. However, Lulu’s life begins unraveling following the birth of her second child, and even more so when she becomes consumed by Bitsy, her mysterious new neighbor, who seems impeccable and too good to be true. “…that new neighbor seems a little too perfect, a little too happy because she always has a smile on her face and Lulu doesn’t trust it… but the more she digs the more she comes face to face with a reality that is almost too much for her to bear.”
