IN THE FAMILY WAY

Set in the mid-1960s, a poignant and powerful novel about the friendship between a group of suburban housewives and a 15-year old unwed mother, who help one another navigate through their personal challenges, relationships, and their pregnancies—both wanted and unwanted—during a time when women can’t have their own bank accounts, credit cards, or sign their own leases; divorce is scandalous and difficult; and abortion is dangerous and illegal.
