I have never read anything like this. Rachel Yoder really hit the gas and kept pushing. Didn’t let up for a second. Saw your hand fly to the handle, locked the door and said buckle up babe. 

This book follows a woman in her early 30’s as she struggles with her sense of identity and purpose while being a stay at home mom to her toddler son.
She becomes paranoid that she is turning into a dog and wrestles with her instincts as a mother, as an individual, and as a Woman. She finds amusement and comfort in the support of other women. She finds balance in letting her odd instincts take over. She kills her house cat and starts to eat raw meat. She crate trains her son.


This is a creative and surreal journey into self-identity within and alongside motherhood and womanhood.
