About Tradwife
Inspired by the #tradwifetok phenomenon, Tradwife is a suspenseful novel set in an idyllic coastal town where polished appearances hide dangerous secrets. Beneath the freshly baked sourdough, neighborhood bake sales, backyard barbecues, and seemingly perfect marriages lies a web of deception. When one of the town’s husbands disappears, long-buried secrets begin to surface, threatening to unravel the carefully crafted lives of the women at the center of the mystery.
Told through the perspectives of three unforgettable women, Tradwife explores the tension between image and reality, asking just how far people will go to protect the lives they’ve built.
