Synopsis

'Razor-edged, unsettling and compelling' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body

'Dark and intense and such a fabulous read' 5* Reader Review

'This emotional roller coaster will keep you gripped until the very end' Heat Magazine

____________________________

The other mothers know best. Don't they?

Claire is expecting a baby. It's her dream but not everyone is as supportive as she'd like . . .

Isolated and vulnerable, she is drawn into an online group for 'natural motherhood' and is warmly embraced by the sisterhood.

As Claire withdraws further into their world and with her due date fast approaching, she is unsettled by the group's conformity and the total shunning of medical intervention.

But blind loyalty can be catastrophic - and her silence could be fatal . . .

Raw, compulsive, and utterly heartwrenching, BABY TEETH is a story about the choices mothers make and the split second between having it all and losing everything...
