Claire Bidwell Smith isn’t only a Rumpus interviewee and writer of Letters in the Mail—she’s also the author of a wrenching memoir about coming of age while losing both her parents.
That book, The Rules of Inheritance, is now being adapted into a movie with Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role.
Congratulations, Claire! We can’t wait to see it!
