    "description": "A battle of wills between mother and daughter reveals the frailty and falsehood of familial bonds in award-winning playwright and filmmaker Zoje Stage\u2019s tense novel of psychological suspense, Baby Teeth.\n\nAfflicted with a chronic debilitating condition, Suzette Jensen knew having children would wreak havoc on her already fragile body. Nevertheless, she brought Hanna into the world, pleased and proud to start a family with her husband Alex. Estranged from her own mother, Suzette is determined to raise her beautiful daughter with the love, care, and support she was denied.\n\nBut Hanna proves to be a difficult child. Now seven-years-old, she has yet to utter a word, despite being able to read and write. Defiant and anti-social, she refuses to behave in kindergarten classes, forcing Suzette to homeschool her. Resentful of her mother\u2019s rules and attentions, Hanna lashes out in anger, becoming more aggressive every day. The only time Hanna is truly happy is when she\u2019s with her father. To Alex, she\u2019s willful and precocious but otherwise the perfect little girl, doing what she\u2019s told.\n\nSuzette knows her clever and manipulative daughter doesn\u2019t love her. She can see the hatred and jealousy in her eyes. And as Hanna\u2019s subtle acts of cruelty threaten to tear her and Alex apart, Suzette fears her very life may be in grave danger\u2026",
