She's made sure to be there for the weekend, terrified by internet rumors that something big and bad is going to happen in New York City that week. --Susanna and Allie: the enviable two-mommy couple with twins, they've tied the knot the day they drove out to Long Island; it's easy to reduce them to a modern urban cliche but nobody sees the reality of their struggles. --Rip: the sole dad in the playgroup, desperate to have a second child, but his take-no-prisoners wife Grace isn't on board; after all, they had to use a sperm donor for Hank, so why does Rip even care? --Tiffany: beyond comfortable with her (amazing) body, she wasn't born into the upper middle class world all the others were; she propelled herself from a chaotic childhood to land a nice life; will what she brings to this weekend blow it all up? --Leigh: has hired the magic nanny everyone wants, and has rubbed that in the other parents' faces by bringing Tenzin along. Tenzin, however, whose own children live thousands of miles away in India, sees the parents from a different perspective. As the weekend unfolds and conflicts intensify, painful truths surface. Friendships crack. Two days together in Eden will change the group forever. A warm, smart and unpretentious literary novel, CUTTING TEETH is involving and thought-provoking, for readers of Tom Perrotta and Meg Wolitzer"--
