Tom's guests on this encore edition of Midday are two authors who have a special bond. Ann Patchett is the best-selling author of nine novels, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and a recipient of the National Humanities Medal. Her new book, which will be released tomorrow, is called Tom Lake. Her protagonist is an actress who ultimately lands in a different line of work. It’s a tender, warm, and wise, meditation on love and family and memory and the stories that shape us.
