ISN »T PARENTHOOD ALL ABOUT SACRIFICE?

 »Sharp, original, wickedly astute » Ashley Audrain, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Push
 »Deliciously dark, Baker »s novel exposes all the little horrors of motherhood.  » Kirsten Miller, author of The Change
Darby, Mary Beth, and Rhea are on personal quests to reclaim aspects of their identities subsumed by motherhood – their careers, their sex lives, their bodies. Their children, though, disrupt these plans when an unsettling medical condition begins to go around the Little Academy preschool: the kids are craving blood.
Then a young teacher is found murdered, and the only witnesses are ten adorable four-year-olds. But as the police draw closer to the truth, it soon becomes clear that the children aren »t just witnesses, they »re suspects . . . and so are their mothers.
Part murder mystery, part motherhood manifesto, CUTTING TEETH explores the standards society holds mothers to – along with the ones to which we hold ourselves – and the things no one tells you about becoming a parent.
