What is Tiny Beautiful Things about?
When we first meet Clare (Hahn), her marriage to husband Danny is barely intact, her teenage daughter Rae is pushing her away, and her once-promising writing career is gone. When an old fellow writer asks her to take over the advice column Dear Sugar, she thinks she shouldn’t be giving advice to anyone.
However, after reluctantly taking on the role of “Sugar,” Clare’s life unfolds in a complex web of memories as she explores the defining moments of her childhood through the present, and the beauty, struggle and humor in her unhealed wounds discovered. With Sugar, Clare creates a kind of ointment for her readers – and for herself – showing that we are not lost forever and that our stories can ultimately save us. And maybe bring us back home too.
