Little Earthquakes

In her rich, funny, and really real New York Times bestseller book, Jennifer Weiner follows three very different women as they embark on one of life's most exciting and dangerous journeys: becoming new mothers. Becky is a gorgeous, fat chef with a fantastic husband, a newborn daughter, a well regarded restaurant in the city, and the worst mother-in-law ever. Kelly is an event coordinator who finds it difficult to manage her career and family life. Her husband is jobless and seems to be comfortable to watch television eight hours a day. And just when Ayinde is at her most vulnerable, her basketball celebrity husband betrays her confidence, increasing the public awareness of their new family. Then there's Lia, a Philadelphia native who decided to start anew after leaving her Hollywood profession, her husband, and a terrible secret behind. Little Earthquakes is a candid, humorous, and very observant look at the tragedies and comedy of love and marriage, covering everything from postpartum yoga to postnatal sex.
