From the back cover.

Bestselling author Jennifer Weiner creates a tale of romance,forgiveness and extreme sleep deprivation, as 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 restraunt that's received citywide acclaim, a beautiful baby girl and the mother-in-law from hell.

Kelly Daly'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 L.A. 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.
