For fans of Nightbitch, a darkly humorous debut novel asks what happens when motherhood isn't all it's cracked up to be . . .

Estie isn't sure she likes being eight months pregnant. She isn't even sure she likes her husband anymore, especially after he hid that he's been fired from his job. Hello parenthood! Goodbye life as Estie imagined it! Now, she's stranded and bloated and alone. Her cat is not a people person, and on top of it all, her best friend has been ignoring her calls ever since Estie told her about the baby.

After Estie gives birth, she begins to suspect that all the stories she's been told about motherhood might not be true. Having a child does not complete her. And that mythical connection with her baby? Well, she's still waiting. In fact, Estie fears she is destined to end up like her own mother--divorced and crying in the bathroom while her daughter stands outside the door and wonders if she's okay.

Startlingly honest and unsentimental, Television for Women explores the realities of life postpartum, the demands children make on women's identities and relationships--and the desperate lengths someone might go to in order to reclaim the person she once was.
