Then Came You

About the book

In Jennifer Weiner's latest book, four women are brought together by duty and chance as they struggle to create a family.

Jules Wildgren is a senior at Princeton with a full scholarship and a family she's embarrassed to introduce to her parents. Despite her privileged appearance, she plans to donate her 'pedigree' eggs for ten thousand dollars to help her father overcome his addiction.

Annie Barrow is a mother of two who relies on her husband's income to get by. Inspired by a TV show about surrogates, she sees an opportunity to find purpose and earn some extra money.

India Bishop, who's actually thirty-eight but claims to be forty-three, thinks she's found happiness by marrying the wealthy Marcus Croft. Desperate for a baby to solidify her relationship, she enlists the help of technology, Annie, and Jules in her quest for motherhood.

However, their plans are thrown off course when Marcus unexpectedly passes away, leaving his twenty-three-year-old daughter Bettina as the guardian of the unborn child. As the due date approaches, these women - all different yet connected - discover what it truly means to be a mother.

With her signature wit and compelling characters, Weiner once again delves into the complexities of women's lives in a story that explores themes of social status, surrogacy, parental rights, and the essence of motherhood.
