This program is read by the author.

Compelling and brave, Kates story is a must read for all young women learning how to navigate adulthood and identity. Lili Reinhart, New York Times bestselling author

Strip Tees is a fever dream of a memoirHunter S. Thompson meets Gloria Steinemabout a recent college graduate and what happens when her feminist ideals meet the real world.

At the turn of the new millennium, LA is the place to be. Hipster is a new word on the scene. Lauren Conrad is living her Cinderella story in the Hills on millions of television sets across the country. Paris Hilton tells us Thats hot from behind the biggest sunglasses imaginable, while beautiful teenagers fight and fall in love on The O.C.

Into this most glittering of supposed utopias, Kate Flannery arrives with a Seven Sisters diploma in hand and a new job at an upstart clothing company called American Apparel. Kate throws herself into the work, determined to climb the corporate fashion ladder. Having a job at American Apparel also means being a part of the advertising campaigns themselves, stripping down in the name of feminism.

She slowly begins to lose herself in a landscape of rowdy sex-positivity, racy photo shoots, and a cultlike devotion to the unorthodox CEO and founder of the brand. The line between sexual liberation and exploitation quickly grows hazy, leading Kate to question the companys ethics and wrestle with her own.

Strip Tees captures a moment in our recent past thats already sepia-toned in nostalgia, and also paints a timeless portrait of a young woman who must choose between what business demands and self-respect requires.

'LaVoy is a well-accomplished audio narrator across multiple genres, and most audiobook lovers will immediately recognize her virtuosic voice with its incisive tones. Here, for the large cast, she gives exceptional and distinct narration to each of the parents, teachers, cops, and children (even creating youthful and fang-induced lisps for some of the children). This narration is an immersive experience and the audio version is highly recommended.'- Booklist (Starred Review)

January LaVoy narrates, bringing the personalities of each mother alive for listeners. LaVoy also provides a variety of startlingly realistic childrens voices, which range from sweet and innocent to whining and ill-tempered.- Library Journal

This audiobook is read by January LaVoy, Publishers Weekly Audiobook Narrator of the Year in 2013. She has also been nominated for 18 Audie Awards, receiving seven, and has garnered over three dozen AudioFile Earphones Awards.

At the Little Academy, mothers fret over their preschoolers, who have developed an unsettling medical syndrome. The childrens odd craving for blood is considered relatively benign (to everyone except their beleaguered moms) until a young teacher is found dead and the only potential witnesses are ten adorable 4-year-olds. Then it becomes clear that the police are looking at the children as not just witnesses, but also suspectsand theyre watching their mothers as well.

Darby, Mary Beth, and Freddie have very different parenting styles, though theyre united in their love for their children. Theyre not thrilled about the biting episodes sweeping through the class, of course, and theyre coping to various degrees with the pressures of being a good mom, which suddenly seems to include, in addition to everything else, offering themselves up as sustenance.

Each of them was there at Little Academy the day of the murder, and as the police begin to look at them more closely, their childrens ability to bleed them dry is becoming not merely metaphorical. Exploring the standards society holds mothers toalong with the ones to which we hold ourselvesand the things no one ever tells you about becoming a parent, Cutting Teeth is a witty, original story of parental love that asks if there is anything a mother is not asked to sacrifice for their children.
