A family conflict told through a psychological-suspense lens

Zoje Stage’s novel centers on a mother and daughter whose strained relationship becomes a contest of wills. Seven-year-old Hanna is silent with most people but close to her father, Alex; Suzette, meanwhile, is struggling with the consequences of years of school expulsions and home schooling while growing uneasy about her daughter’s behavior. Alex’s view of Hanna differs sharply from Suzette’s, leaving the family’s tensions unresolved between them. The setup brings questions of trust, parental perception, and the fragility of family bonds into a domestic psychological thriller, with the mother-daughter relationship as its central pressure point.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in psychological suspense set within family relationships
  • Readers drawn to stories about parent-child conflict and clashing perceptions
  • Readers looking for fiction centered on a tense mother-daughter dynamic

Book overview

"Unnerving and unputdownable, Baby Teeth will get under your skin and keep you trapped in its chilling grip until the shocking conclusion."--New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline

"Gripping"--InStyle
"Propulsive."--New York Times Book Review
"A deliciously creepy read."--New York Post

A battle of wills between mother and daughter reveals the frailty and falsehood of familial bonds in award-winning playwright and filmmaker Zoje Stage's tense novel of psychological suspense, Baby Teeth.

MEET HANNA: Seven-year-old Hanna is a sweet-but-silent angel in the eyes of her adoring father Alex. He's the only person who understands her. But her mother Suzette stands in her way, and she'll try any trick she can think of to get rid of her. Ideally for good.

MEET SUZETTE: Suzette loves her daughter, but after years of expulsions and strained home schooling, her precarious health and sanity are weakening day by day. She's also becoming increasingly frightened by Hanna's little games, while her husband Alex remains blind to the failing family dynamics. Soon, Suzette starts to fear that maybe their supposedly innocent baby girl may have a truly sinister agenda.

"We Need to Talk About Kevin meets Gone Girl meets The Omen...a twisty, delirious read that will constantly question your sympathies for the two characters as their bond continues to crumble."--Entertainment Weekly
