From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Niven comes a captivating novel about fame, family, and the secrets behind America’s favorite TV family—perfect for fans of Lessons in Chemistry and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

For twenty years, Del and Dinah Newman and their sons, Guy and Shep, have been television royalty, portraying flawless versions of themselves to millions of viewers. But in 1964, the Newmans’ perfect image begins to crack. Ratings are plummeting, secrets are bubbling to the surface, and each family member is hiding truths that could destroy them.

When Del is sidelined by a mysterious accident, Dinah enlists young reporter Juliet Dunne to help craft the show’s final episode—but their contrasting views on womanhood, family, and fame create tension at every turn. Meet the Newmans is a witty, heartwarming, and deeply moving story about the lives we show the world and the ones we keep behind closed doors.
