I read the book a few years ago. I recognized her name because she is the woman who wrote a memoir that included her time with J. D. Salinger. It is called At Home in the World.
Labor Day is the story of a mother and son who take an escaped prisoner home with them and to some degree live happily ever after. It's a good book and I would expect it to be a good movie.
It's coming out around Christmas time, or maybe after the first of the year.

I've never even heard of it. But holiday titled things are kinda scary. See Valentine's Day, or New Year's Eve.

Interesting premise for a novel. I bet it is good.
