Summary
"Carolanne wanted a perfect wedding, a perfect husband, a perfect family--but her desire to control the uncontrollable ultimately becomes her undoing. Beth Hetland's Tender is a psychological thriller that tears down the wall of a genre - body horror - so often identified with male creators. Heady and visceral, Tender uses horrific tropes to confront women's societal expectations of self-sacrifice despite those traditional roles often coming at the expense of female sexuality and empowerment"-- Page [4] of cover.
