Meet the Newmans By Jennifer Niven

STEP BEHIND THE GLOWING SCREEN AND INTO THE CRACKING FAÇADE OF AMERICA’S FAVORITE TV FAMILY—FROM JENNIFER NIVEN, THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES.

For fans of Lessons in Chemistry and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

For two decades, Del and Dinah Newman and their sons, Guy and Shep, have reigned supreme as "America’s Favorite Family." Every week, millions of loyal viewers tune in to watch them portray flawless, wholesome versions of themselves. But it is now 1964, and the Newmans' picture-perfect television world suddenly feels woefully out of touch with a rapidly changing society.

As ratings go into a free-fall, so do the Newmans. Patriarch Del is hiding an explosive secret; matriarch Dinah is literally and figuratively starting to go numb; dependable Guy is concealing the truth about his personal life; and rock ’n’ roll idol Shep is courting dangerous trouble. When Del—the creative driving force of the show—suffers a mysterious car accident, Dinah takes matters into her own hands by hiring Juliet Dunne, an outspoken young reporter, to help write the family's landmark final episode. But with clashing perspectives on what it means to be a woman in 1964, can the Newmans hold it together long enough to make television history, or will they be canceled before they ever get the chance?

Funny, big-hearted, and deeply moving, Meet the Newmans is a rich, evocative family drama exploring the dual realities we all lead behind closed doors—because everyone has a behind-the-scenes story.
