Judy Blume: A Life, Narrated by Molly Ringwald

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Superfudge, Tiger Eyes—when it comes to books that have changed the lives of young people, iconic author Judy Blume is a singular force. For over 40 years she has written novels that fully inhabit the joys, sorrows, and mortifications of growing up (among other things).

Now in Mark Oppenheimer’s biography Judy Blume: A Life, readers—and audiobook listeners—finally have the chance to learn about Blume herself. And who better to voice the audiobook edition than Molly Ringwald, an actor famed for creating onscreen characters that helped define young adulthood for a generation. As Linda Korn, Senior Executive Producer at PRH Audio, says of the production: “Working with Molly Ringwald on Judy Blume: A Life was a masterclass in connection. Our five focused days in the booth were like a creative meditation, tracing Judy’s journey with reverence and grit, guided by Mark Oppenheimer’s meticulous research and Molly’s own genuine connection to the material. The result is a biography transformed into something intimate, alive, and deeply human. It left me eager to explore more of Judy’s work, as well as Molly’s.”

This is, quite simply, an audiobook moment—and one that any fan of Judy and Molly will not want to miss.
