Working from home in the close quarters of their Florida house, she lives with one wary eye peeled on Samson, a sullen, unknowable boy who resists her every attempt to bond with him. Uncertain in her own feelings about motherhood, she tries her best - driving, cleaning, cooking, prodding him to finish projects for school - while growing increasingly resentful of Monika, her confident but absent wife. As Samson grows from feral toddler to surly teenager, Sammie's life begins to deteriorate into a mess of unruly behaviour, and her struggle to create a picture-perfect queer family unravels. When her son's hostility finally spills over into physical aggression, Sammie must confront her role in the mess - and the possibility that it will never be clean again.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending the warmth and wit of Arnett's breakout hit, \u003ci\u003eMostly Dead Things\u003c\/i\u003e, with a candid take on queer family dynamics, \u003ci\u003eWith Teeth\u003c\/i\u003e is a thought-provoking portrait of the delicate fabric of family - and the many ways it can be torn apart.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46717718757534,"sku":"ADS-9781472156518","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781472156518.jpg?v=1776128900","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781472156518","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
