At the heart of the timely and powerful novel, IN THE FAMILY WAY by Laney Katz Becker is a close-knit group of suburban housewives navigating the turbulent world of 1965 America. Bound by friendship and resilience, they support one another through the relentless challenges of a society where women canât have their own bank accounts, credit cards, or leases; where divorce carries scandal and stigma; and where abortion is both illegal and dangerous. Their struggles paint a raw and heartfelt portrait of perseverance and solidarity during an era of limited freedoms and abundant expectations.
New York Times bestselling author of Sandwich, Catherine Newman perfectly sums up the spirit of this novel:
âThis timely, timeless novel captures not only the reproductive horrors of that era but also political awakening and a kind of nostalgic hope: itâs a changing world, and Roe, behind us now, was glimmering on the horizon then. Laney Katz Becker so beautifully reveals that where there are womenâs hardships, there is consolation to be found, then and still, in each otherâs company and care.â
