Readers fell in love with Cannie Shapiro, the smart, sharp-tongued, bighearted heroine of Good in Bed, who found her happy ending after navigating her mother's coming out, her father's absence, and her ex-boyfriend's public revelations about their past. Now, Cannie is back. Following the success of her debut novel—a fictionalized, highly sexualized version of her life—she retreated from the limelight to write science fiction under a pseudonym. Happily married to the charming diet doctor Peter Krushelevansky, Cannie enjoys a predictably fulfilling life filled with knitting at her daughter Joy's drama rehearsals, volunteering at the library, and attending yoga classes with her best friend Samantha. As preparations for Joy's bat mitzvah begin, Cannie's world seems perfect. However, Joy's discovery of Cannie's earlier novel forces her to confront unsettling truths about her own conception, secrets her mother had kept hidden. When Peter expresses a desire to have another baby, the family must reevaluate their past, future, and the essence of true happiness. With Weiner's signature humor and keen observations of modern life, this story explores love, loss, and the enduring bonds of family.
