About

In a world where women have few choices, friendship becomes their greatest source of strength. 

Set in 1965 America, In the Family Way is a moving historical novel about motherhood, marriage, friendship, and the difficult choices women faced before the women's liberation movement. 

Every Tuesday, a group of suburban housewives gathers for cards, conversation, and shared confidences. When Lily Berg, a doctor's wife expecting her second child, welcomes fifteen-year-old Betsy into her home, she believes she is simply helping a pregnant teenager awaiting the birth of her baby. But an unexpected emotional connection changes everything. 

Meanwhile, Lily's friend Becca desperately seeks a way to end an unwanted pregnancy, while her sister Rose discovers troubling secrets about her marriage. 

As their lives become increasingly intertwined, these women confront society's expectations and discover the courage to challenge them. 

Compassionate and thought-provoking, In the Family Way explores the bonds between women and the sacrifices they make for love, family, and personal freedom.
