And India Bishop needs Jules's eggs and Annie's womb because she can't conceive. But when India's much older husband dies, leaving his daughter as guardian of the unborn baby, confusion reigns.Then Came You is the story of four women bound by commitment and change who struggle to answer the question, "What does it really mean to be a mom?"
