My mother's favorite pastime is to go thrifting, which she calls "junking." Early on, my sister and I learned how to be strategic when shopping for a sale or digging through racks at local thrift shops and garage sales. We'd often travel to affluent neighborhoods to check out their donations. Most of the time we would find name-brand items with tags still on them. When I first started Hulu's original series Little Fires Everywhere, I had an instant connection to the series, but the most recent episode stirred up emotions about my own upbringing and relationship with my mother that I hadn't thought about in years.
Set in the '90s, the series follows Mia Warren, played by Kerry Washington, a Black mixed-media artist who settles in Shaker Heights, Oh, with her daughter, Pearl. She's introduced to Elena Richardson, played by Reese Witherspoon, while viewing a duplex she intends to rent.

Hulu's Little Fires Everywhere with Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon won't be out until Wednesday, but its source material, Celeste Ng's novel of the same name, has been populating shelves since 2017. First recognized for her book Everything I Never Told You, Ng is known for her emotional dramas about family and race. Little Fires Everywhere is a prime example of this, striking readers with less of the edge of Scandal or Big Little Lies and more of the searing sentimentality of This Is Us.
Before you catch the series on streaming, you might want to know what goes down in Ng's book. We're here to run through the spoilery details - that is, if you want them. If you don't, you can stop right here and pick up the novel basically anywhere that has books.

Hulu’s “Little Fires Everywhere” really leaned into the whole burning theme on Thursday with a trailer that showcases more than one flame — both literal and metaphorical — being ignited by Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington’s respective characters, mothers who hold secrets about their very different families.
In the video, which you can view above, Elena Richardson (Witherspoon) and Mia Warren (Washington) meet when the latter rents an apartment owned by the former. The differences between Elena’s white, upper-middle class, 4-child nuclear family and Mia’s more modest life with her only daughter are set up immediately and soon the two are at odds over the personal details they choose to keep hidden from one another.
All of this tension builds until the Richardson family home is burned down — and no one knows who is responsible for setting it ablaze.

Hulu has released the first look at its upcoming adaptation of Celeste Ng’s “Little Fires Everywhere,” starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. And if looks could kill, then this photo would have the two actresses arrested for murdering us.
In the shot, we see Witherspoon and Washington dressed in-character as Elena Richardson and Mia Warren, respectively, two women who appear to be total opposites, apart from their smoldering poses and senses of style. But a picture is worth a thousand words, and we’re sure there is more to the story than what this first-look teases.
