A heartfelt and thought-provoking novel about motherhood, class, and the unexpected ways women’s lives intersect.
 
When Princeton student Jules sells her eggs to pay for her father’s addiction treatment, she never imagines where that decision will lead. Across the country, Annie becomes a surrogate to help her struggling family, and India—a glamorous forty-three-year-old—yearns for motherhood with her wealthy husband. When the child that connects them all is born, secrets surface, and each woman must confront the meaning of family, identity, and love.
 
In Then Came You, bestselling author Jennifer Weiner (Good in Bed, In Her Shoes) explores the moral and emotional complexity of modern motherhood with humor, compassion, and unflinching honesty. Through the voices of four women—each with her own motivations and vulnerabilities—Weiner creates an intricate, deeply human story about choice, connection, and what it really means to belong.
 
Balancing wit with warmth, Then Came You challenges traditional notions of family and celebrates the courage it takes to redefine happiness on your own terms. Smart, emotional, and full of heart, it’s one of Weiner’s most resonant and multi-layered novels.
