So far, “Big Little Lies” producer Bruna Papandrea has had a busy year. Over the past few months, she snagged the rights to both Allison Pearson’s “How Hard Can It Be?” and Jessica Knoll’s  “The Favorite Sister.” Now, a press release has announced that Papandrea and her production company, Made Up Stories, is also adding “Pieces of Her,” Karin Slaughter’s latest novel, to her slate.

“Pieces of Her” follows Andrea, a women who’s spent her entire life believing she knows her mother, Laura, more intimately than anyone else. But a seemingly normal trip to the mall exposes a completely different side of Laura, revealing a secret she’s been keeping over 30 years. Andrea is forced to look into her mother’s mysterious past as a way to save her future. Slaughter’s novel is set to release August 21.

“Homeland” and “House of Cards” writer Charlotte Stoudt has signed on to adapt the novel and exec produce. Lesli Linka Glatter will direct.

“From the moment I started reading Karin’s visceral new novel, I felt like there was nothing like it on TV – an emotional mother/daughter story living in the skin of a heart-pounding action thriller,” said Papandrea. “I can’t think of a more perfect pairing than Lesli and Charlotte to translate Karin’s novel to the screen. It’s truly a dream team of female content creators.”

Glatter has received seven Emmy nods. Her credits include episodes of “Mad Men,” “The Walking Dead,” “The Good Wife,” “Gilmore Girls,” and many others. She is currently directing and exec producing Showtime’s “Homeland.”

Slaughter has sold over 35 million copies across 120 countries. She is the founder of the Save the Libraries project, which works to support libraries and their programming. Her standalone novels “The Good Daughter” and “Cop Town” are also in development for film and television. “Pieces of Her” is Slaughter’s 18th novel.

Papandrea’s previous production credits include Oscar nominated films “Gone Girl” and “Wild.” She is currently producing Season 2 of HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” TNT’s “Tell Me Your Secrets (formerly “Deadlier Than the Male”), and “The Nightingale,” Jennifer Kent’s follow-up to “The Babadook.”
