Shortlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize She's serving.
She's eating.
She's . . . Carrying. In this electrifying horror debut that's equal parts funny and harrowing, a stealth trans woman desperate to maintain her picture-perfect life discovers that she's seemingly--impossibly--pregnant. Everything Martha's wanted, she's made for herself. Meet Martha: perfect wife, perfect stepmother, perfect woman. She's got an adoring husband who wants more kids with her, a loving stepdaughter who looks up to her, and a body to die for. She's an absolute pro: Salon-quality blowouts at home? Done. Perfectly plated meals on the table every day? Effortless. Meticulously faked miscarriages so her husband won't suspect the truth? Just hand over the Oscar now. Martha is trans, so stealth even her family has no idea. She carved the woman she is out of the marble of a boy, and she'll do whatever it takes to protect what she's built. When a mysterious chronic illness and its debilitating symptoms threaten to upend her existence, she starts experimental treatments and gives in to her surprising, unsettling cravings. She's even more shocked to discover that she's undeniably, impossibly pregnant. With her body changing rapidly outside of her control and her choices dwindling, Martha struggles to maintain the life she's fought so hard to live while preparing for the motherhood she never thought she'd have.
