Four very different women navigate one of life's most wonderful and perilous transitions: the journey of new motherhood.
Rebecca Rothstein Rabinowitz is a plump, sexy chef who has a wonderful husband, a restaurant that's received citywide acclaim, a beautiful baby girl and the mother-in-law from hell. Kelly Day's life looks picture-perfect. But behind the doors, she's struggling to balance work, motherhood and marriage, while dealing with an unemployed husband who seems content to channel-surf for eight hours a day. Ayinde Towne's already on shaky ground, when her basketball superstar husband breaks her trust at the most vulnerable moment in her life, putting their marriage in peril -- and thrusting their new family further into the public eye. Then there's Lia Frederick, a Philadelphia native who has left Los Angeles behind, along with her glamorous Hollywood career, her husband, and a tragic secret.
With her trademark warmth and humor, Weiner tells the story of what happens after happily ever after.
"Hilarious, heartbreaking, and insightful."
"Immensely readable. . . . Weiner's gift lies in her ability to create characters who both amuse us and make us care."
"Weiner, a wonderful natural writer and storyteller, renders her characters and their lives in details that resonate as the real deal."
"Lively, witty, and often touching. . . . Weiner's snappy dialogue and captivating characters make Little Earthquakes endlessly appealing."
