SynopsisCicely has got problems. Stuck working a crappy job to take care of her deadbeat father, she's living just a step above homelessness in a town ruled by a remote, affluent elite and stricken with a catastrophic outbreak of red tide. But then Cicely makes a friend, perhaps her first, and she starts dreaming of a way out of her predicament. It's a scheme that involves stolen placentas and a dangerous outlaw doula that leads to a confrontation with the malignant forces around her and the mother who abandoned her as a child. In this grim, comic debut novel, author Cooper Levey-Baker tells a bizarre coming-of-age story in prose that is lyrical, gross, tragic, goofy, and maybe even a bit tender., Cicely has problems. She's working a job with no future, living just a step up from homelessness, and caring for a deadbeat dad. And then comes the red tide, which leaves scores of rotting fish all over the beaches of the small Gulf Coast city where Cicely lives. But then Cicely makes a friend, perhaps her first, and begins trying to find a way out. Along the way, she finds herself caught up in a plot to steal placentas from the local hospital, meets the outlaw doula running the operation, and confronts her mother, who abandoned her a decade ago.
