"Thea's third pregnancy was her easiest. She wasn't consumed with anxiety about the baby. Thea felt fine. Her baby would be fine. But when the nurses handed Lucia to her, Thea just knew. Her baby girl was a monster. Not only was Lucia born with a full set of teeth and a devilish glint in her eye, but she's always hungry. Indiscriminately so. One day Lucia pointed at her baby brother and said, 'I eat.' Thea doesn't know whether to be terrified or proud, but as Lucia starts growing faster and talking more, dark memories bubble to the surface. Lucia wants to eat the world. Thea might just let her. Crackling with originality and dark humor, Rachel Eve Moulton's 'Tantrum' is a provocative exploration of debt, duty, and the darker side of motherhood"--Inside jacket flap.
