Cutting teeth [sound recording] / by Baker, Chandler,author,narrator.; LaVoy, January,narrator.; Macmillan Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by Chandler Baker, January LaVoy."New York Times bestselling author Chandler Baker's Cutting Teeth is a witty, thrilling story of parental love that asks: is there anything a mother won't do for her children? Darby, Mary Beth, and Rhea are on personal quests to reclaim aspects of their identities subsumed by motherhood-their careers, their sex lives, their bodies. Their children, though, disrupt their plans when an unsettling medical condition begins to go around the Little Academy preschool: the kids are craving blood. Then a young teacher is found dead, and the only potential witnesses are ten adorable four-year-olds. Soon it becomes clear that the children are not just witnesses, but also suspects ... and so are their mothers. As the police begin to look more closely, the children's ability to bleed their parents dry becomes deadly serious. Part murder mystery, part motherhood manifesto, Cutting Teeth explores the standards society holds mothers to-along with the ones to which we hold ourselves-and the things no one tells you about becoming a parent"--

Between : a memoir on gender transition by a mother and her trans son / by Telford, Gemma,author.; Telford, Leo,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.A heart-warming and honest memoir written by Gemma and Leo, a mother and son, recounting the story of Leo's gender transition. The lives of transgender people have evolved into a talking point in wider society. Many people now have an opinion on trans issues; however, most have not informed that opinion by speaking to a trans person first-hand. Between is a memoir told from the perspective of a mother and her transgender son, with the aim of destigmatizing and humanizing transgender people and the issues they face. Gemma is the first to admit she knew nothing, and felt vulnerable and uneducated, while Leo explains that he always felt different and how hard it was for him to face his family, his friends and the world. Their story provides an honest insight into what it's really like to come out, tell people, get help, grow up and live as a trans person, as well as what it feels like to parent a trans person. It beautifully illustrates the issues, pain, struggle and joy for trans people and their parents, and is a must-read for those in the same shoes, and those who want to be better friends and allies to the LGBTQ+ community.

The light of Eternal Spring / by Di Zhang, Angel,author.;
"Angel Di Zhang's intensely cinematic debut novel travels from the streets of New York City to northeast China, on the trail of a young photographer who needs to reconcile with her dead mother before she is able see the world again. Amy Hilton, born Wu Aimee in the tiny Chinese village of Eternal Spring, has been living and working as a photographer in New York City for so long she's started to dream in English. When in the fall of 1999 she receives a letter from her sister, written in her birth tongue of Manchu, she needs to take it to a Chinatown produce vendor to get it translated. And so it is this stranger who tells Amy that her mother has died of a broken heart. Amy blames herself. How could she not? Her mother has never recovered from her oldest daughter leaving her, first for school, then to pursue her art, and finally to marry a white man. Vowing to be there for her mother in death as she hasn't been in life, she books a flight to China. Haunted by the folk stories her mother told her about a shaman's journey to the underworld to retrieve her child, Amy undertakes a quest that strips away all the elements of her new identity, leaving her ready to make amends. But when she finally reunites with her family, things are far different than she remembers, and her loved ones are less than thrilled to welcome their prodigal daughter home. Interwoven with indelible scenes from Amy's childhood, The Light of Eternal Spring is a tenderly told story about leaving home and returning again, and about forgetting where you come from until you can't forget any longer. Blending playful magical realism with the family balancing acts all immigrants and artists know so well, Angel Di Zhang creates a nuanced portrait of family lost and family found, of the transformative power of art and of the need to transform yourself in order to make art that's true."--Provided by publisher.
