New moms everywhere have issues and insecurities but this is the first time I have ever heard of a mom convinced she is turning into a dog. This unusual debut has moments of absolute clarity for every mom - being constantly woken at all hours by toddlers fists and feet, a husband who is able to escape via business travel, frustrations over putting your career on hold and having it replaced as a caregiver to a stubborn tiny human plus the endless struggle to escape the constant caregiver routine.
Believing her canine teeth are getting sharper and the strange discovery of course hair on her neck convinces "the mother" that she is becoming a dog but she finds wisdom in a library book. A weird mix of folklore, motherhood and society's lack of appreciation for mothers - this will appeal to all moms feeling a bit lost in their new role as well as readers looking for a fresh voice . 3 1/2 stars
