Head over to BookCourt for the paperback release of Julia Fierro’s much lauded debut novel, Cutting Teeth. The novel follows a group of Brooklyn parents as they bring their families to a Long Island beach house for a summer weekend. Both nuanced and hilarious, Cutting Teeth is a perfect pick for the summer. Julia will read an excerpt from her forthcoming novel, The Gypsy Moth Summer. Amy Shearn, author of The Mermaid of Brooklyn, will join her in conversation.
