"Narrator Natalie Naudus’ Natalie embarks on this contentious path with almost cool deliberation...[her] characterizations confront Natalie at every turn..." — Booklist on Fallow (Starred Review) **"[Narrator Natalie] Naudus' performance confidently skates along the surface of emotion in an accurate reflection of Natalie’s personality, then thins to a heartbreaking wisp at the saddest part of the story as Natalie grapples with grief and indecision." — Kirkus Slyly funny and disarmingly tender, Fallow is the story of a young woman who signs up to be the world’s first in-house corporate surrogate, then finds herself caught up in a social experiment of another kind. This program is read by Audie and Earphones Award–winning narrator Natalie Naudus.** Natalie knows one truth: there is no such thing as a good job. As the clock ticks away at the call center where she logs complaints of workplace harassment, she tries to ignore the increasing pain in her jaw. She has no dental insurance. She has no skills or ambitions. She has student loans. And, minute by minute, she hears the many ways workers are not just not getting by, but actually getting hustled. Then, at the blood bank where she sells her plasma, a mysterious flyer leads her to The Company. Natalie turns out to be the perfect candidate for their pilot program, pitched as an opportunity to help women access greater gender equity. She will be their in-house surrogate, delivering seven babies in ten years and enabling their executives to have motherhood without maternity leave. Finally, she will be adequately—generously—compensated. For years, her every need is met: stacks of healthy meals in the refrigerator of a luxury condo, fitness coaches and nutritionists, around-the-clock health care. Between deliveries, she takes time off—a fallow period, with no obligations or expectations. For the first time in her life, she is good at her job; for the first time, she feels free.
