Listen to a conversation between authors Tracy Barone and Maria Semple about Barone's debut novel "Happy Family." "Happy Family" is the story of Cheri Matzner, an academic and former cop forced to come to terms with the family that raised her, the one that gave her up and the one she so desperately wants. -- Barone was the executive producer on "Wild Wild West," "Rosewood," "My Fellow Americans" and Money Train," and was instrumental in the acquisition and development of "Men in Black" and "Ali." She’ll appear in conversation with Seattle’s own Maria Semple ("Where'd You Go, Bernadette"), whose new novel, "Today Will be Different" will be published in October. -- "In her debut novel, screenwriter, playwright, and film producer Barone uses a wide lens to capture Cheri Matzner's life, from a precarious beginning to a confident, peaceful middle age... Cinematic in its scope, this novel takes readers on a broad, deep, and poignant journey alongside a tough, admirable woman and the varied characters who populate her life."―Kirkus.
