How far would you go to protect your child?
Author Claudia Hinz breaks down Tenley Ward, the fiercely protective mother at the center of her debut novel SAFEKEEPING.
Tenley is what Claudia describes as the ultimate helicopter parent—a mother accustomed to being involved, solving problems, using her resources, and doing whatever she can to protect her children.
Then her 19-year-old son receives a military draft notice.
Suddenly, the problem in front of her is bigger than college, sports, family schedules, or anything parental influence has prepared her to handle.
Her response?
Fight back.
Tenley creates MOMS — Mothers Opposing More Senselessness, turning her determination to protect her son into a growing anti-draft movement. But as SAFEKEEPING unfolds, Tenley must also confront her own privilege, relationships, identity, and the limits of how much a parent can actually control.
Claudia and The MisFitNation explore motherhood, parental protection, privilege, military families, activism, and the emotional question beneath it all:
When does protecting your child become trying to control a future you can no longer control?
