Here's a description of the book it's based on, per Amazon:

"Jonathan Evison has crafted a novel of the heart, a novel of unlikely heroes traveling through a grand American landscape, and most of all, a story that offers a profound look into what it takes to truly care for another person. Bursting with energy and filled with moments of absolute beauty, this bighearted and inspired novel ponders life's terrible surprises as well as its immeasurable rewards."

Rudd's no stranger to Atlanta of course. He finished work on "Ant-Man," which was based out of the new Pinewood Studios facility in Fayette County, late last fall. Previously he was here for "Anchorman 2" and "Wanderlust."Here's a great photo of Gomez, who dined at STK Atlanta this week. She enjoyed Executive

And it's a star itself, having served as one of the filming locations for the movie "Need for Speed." Gomez posed for this great photo with
