Later, Mia contacts her about a rental property for herself and her daughter Pearl (Lexi Underwood) without realizing she’s the person who called the cops.
Elena first calls the cops on Kerry Washington’s Mia when she sees her sleeping in her car. Elena is a well-off journalist at a local paper with four teenage children and a lawyer husband, while Mia is an artist who lives an itinerant lifestyle and takes part-time jobs to support her and her daughter between art sales. The two central characters in this story are Reese Witherspoon’s Elena Richardson and Kerry Washington’s Mia Warren. How much do we value the love we have and how much do we long for the kinds of love we have never gotten? What values do you espouse when they cost you nothing and what values do you live by when things get hard? What do you consider unforgivable, and from who? Little Fires Everywhere took some of those same concepts and turned them outwards what happens when two very different families and two very different mothers begin to cross-pollinate.
Her first novel, Everything I Never Told You, was an exploration of one family dealing with a tragedy and the ways that their own flaws and insecurities made it impossible for them to meaningfully connect with each other. The first three episodes of this adaptation of Celeste Ng’s novel take a lot of the spirit of the book they explore themes of motherhood, of identity, of not hearing other people and not hearing yourself. From there, we walk about a year back to find out what led to that explosive moment, and why Reese’s 15-year-old daughter Izzy is missing from the aftermath. We open on a suburban house in Shaker Heights, Ohio being gutted by flames as fire fighters try to control the blaze, and Reese Witherspoon looks on in despair. Little Fires Everywhere has an incendiary start, literally.
