Tom Lake

 Ann Patchett wrote Tom Lake in 2023. This is a family novel. Three daughters want to know about their mother's life prior to her marriage to her father. In her earlier years, before she had three daughters. Lara was an actress in a summer theater group in northern Michigan called Tom Lake. She starred in the play, Our Town. The person who played her father in the play went on to become a famous movie star. Their father was the director of the play so he knew both Lara and the famous movie star. The daughters are begging for details as they pick cherries on their farm in Michigan. Patchett is a talented writer and I totally enjoyed this family drama.
