Love, sex, adolescence, Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin…need I say more?

Just finished Joyce Maynard’s novel, Labor Day.  Taking place in a small town in New Hampshire, at the beginning of Labor Day weekend, the story is told through the eyes of a young teenager.  His divorced, emotionally fragile mother is his only company and life changes drastically when a mysterious man asks for help.  Over the course of a long weekend, some of life’s most valuable lessons are learned.

How exciting to learn that her novel is currently being developed as a motion picture that Paramount Pictures will distribute, directed by Jason Reitman and starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin.  Production is scheduled to begin this summer in Massachusetts.

Oh, and what do apples have to do with it?  Well you’ll just need to read the novel or wait for the movie to find out! A great read!
