An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler's demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck; her canines look sharper than she remembers. Her husband dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. She struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret, and discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography. A group of mothers involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme may also be more than what they seem. -- adapted form jacket

Nightbitch Review submitted by ctconley on August 4, 2022, 3:31pm An interesting discussion of motherhood, but I prefer something more like "Little Fires Everywhere." Perhaps the themes were too overt for my tastes.

Enthralling submitted by dwick on June 27, 2023, 9:00am This book was insane in the best way possible. Yoders style of writing has a unique way of involving the reader in the characters inner life, which makes for an enthralling read especially given the topic matter. the exploration of beasthood and womanhood was depicted in a way i hadn’t yet seen, and loved every bit of it.

Fantastic submitted by berkleya on July 23, 2023, 7:18am Loved reading this from the distance of my kids being much older than the narrator's toddler. :)
