WDCB's Gary Zidek talks to author Ashley Audrain about her debut novel THE PUSH.

“(when it comes to) virtue, the heart of who you’re child is, and who they turn out to be, it’s something none of us want to think about, and it’s something people don’t talk about.” - THE PUSH author Ashley Audrain talking about the taboo nature of discussing a child’s virtue or lack thereof.

THE PUSH has quickly become one of the most talked about books of the young year. The novel was just named Good Morning America’s Book of the Month for January and the film rights were sold after a competitive bidding process to the company that produced ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.

Author Ashley Audrain has crafted a thriller/family drama that explores some semi-taboo topics related to how parents really feel about their children. THE PUSH is available everywhere books are sold, you can find more information here.
