AlbakiReads Editorial

A family sitcom at a cultural turning point

Set in 1964, Meet the Newmans centers on a television family whose carefully maintained image is losing its hold as the era changes. The Newmans’ off-screen lives are coming apart in different ways: Del guards a secret, Dinah faces a strange physical change, Guy conceals the truth about his love life, and Shep’s rock-star life brings trouble. After Del is injured in a car accident, Dinah brings reporter Juliet Dunne into the effort to write the show’s final episode. Their contrasting views of womanhood and family place the Newmans’ private struggles alongside questions about how those roles are changing.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in multigenerational family fiction and complicated family relationships.
  • Readers who enjoy stories set amid shifts in television and popular culture.
  • Readers interested in women’s roles and family expectations in 1960s America.

Book overview

A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
An International Bestselling Author

For two decades, Del and Dinah Newman and their sons, Guy and Shep, have ruled television as America's Favorite Family. Millions of viewers tune in every week to watch them play flawless versions of themselves. But now it's 1964, and the Newmans' perfection feels woefully out of touch. Ratings are in free fall, as are the Newmans themselves. Del is keeping an explosive secret from his wife, and Dinah is slowly going numb. Guy is hiding the truth about his love life, and the charmed luck of rock 'n' roll idol Shep may have finally run out. Can the Newmans hold it together to change television history? Or will they be canceled before they ever have the chance?
