ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Tom Lake” by Ann Patchett is a reflective novel about Laura, a woman who recounts her past to her daughters while they spend a summer together on their family orchard in Michigan. Through her storytelling, Laura revisits her youthful ambitions, her time in Hollywood, and her complicated relationship with a famous actor. The novel explores themes of identity, ambition, love, and the choices that shape one's life. With a focus on memory and generational differences, Tom Lake examines how personal history influences family dynamics and the way we understand ourselves over time.
