"...because Josh Boone (director of “The Fault in Our Stars”) signed up to pen the script, this [movie] should get made."

 

 

REVIEW

 “[A] wonderful debut novel, in turn humorous and gut-wrenching. Don't miss it.”

“Art has saved my life over and over again,” she volunteers. Weatherwax sees something of herself in her “tomboyish” character Ruthie. And the act of creating has been a form of “salvation” that got her through some tough times—including an “awful” coming-out process.

Katie Holmes will make her directorial debut and star in the mother-daughter drama All We Had, based on the Annie Weatherwax novel. Tribeca Prods. partner Jane Rosenthal will produce with VP of production Berry Welsh. Josh Boone, director of The Fault in Our Stars, has come on board to adapt the script. 

REVIEW

September 4, 2014 

 

"The most profound insights in All We Had have to do with...an erosion of empathy, an insistence on maintaining the same hierarchical code that bars upward mobility for others, and a willingness to abandon one’s identity. ... There’s much to recommend in this lovely debut novel, but the best of its virtues are these truths."

 

REVIEW

August 17, 2014 

 

"All We Had alternates between black comedy and heart-breaking realism...Vivid and original...Ruthie's voice, sharp, worldly wise, is what drives this book."

 

 

PROFILE

August 15, 2014 

 

"Weatherwax has always considered herself a visual artist who has made a living as a painter and sculptor. But in noting the similarities between writing and making art, she explains, “as a writer, you’re painting a picture in the reader’s mind.”

Editor's Pick

 

"Part commentary on the subprime crisis past, comic novel All We Had keeps you reading for its small observations..."

 

REVIEW

August 8, 2014

 

"AnnieWeatherwax...crafts three-dimensional, multifaceted characters and infuses gritty humor and poignancy into the story of the hardscrabble existence of a mother and daughter.Weatherwax's tight dialogue and short, emotionally charged scenes examine hope, the meaning of home and the unbreakable bond of love between mother and daughter."

"Katie Holmes Options Annie Weatherwax's All We Had"

 

 

NEWS

July 14, 2014 

 

"Weatherwax's first novel is an intimate portrayal of poverty and need and a quiet commentary on American Culture. An eccentric...cast of characters, from the transgender waitress to the old couple with the hardware store, add an endearing quality to this thought-provoking coming-of-age story."

 

 

REVIEW

May 19, 2014 

 

"...a remarkably authentic story of folks on the skids...Weatherwax’s smart style, crisp narrative, sharp dialogue, and vivid descriptions send a powerful message: there is hope hidden in despair."
