Yes,
that Molly Ringwald. It turns out she can write. I stumbled upon an interview with her about this novel on NPR while driving one afternoon and was drawn to her thoughtful yet not overly sentimental musings on family life. Plus, hearing a short excerpt of the novel read on air convinced me I wanted to read more.
When It Happens to You is a quiet novel in stories about a family with issues that may never be resolved. From infidelity to raising children, Ringwald writes with clear, sparse prose, creating characters that are perfectly imperfect humans - vulnerable yet resilient.
