Hour 2
Novelist and Philadelphian JENNIFER WEINER’s ninth book is out. Then Came You is the story of four women brought together over issues of egg donorship, surrogacy, motherhood and class. But besides writing bestselling books about real women like Good in Bed, Best Friends Forever, and In Her Shoes, Weiner is also busy writing for television. She’s the executive producer and co-creator of the new ABC Family show, The State of Georgia, a sitcom starring Raven-Symone as an aspiring young actress in New York City. Marty talks with Weiner about her new book and her new show.
