8:31 am
experiencing homelessness. >> she was like, that's what i wanted to do this weekend. she kind of had her idea already mapped out. we supported her in that. >> just being so caring at a young age, you don't get too many people who like to help and not expect something in return. >> her selflessness inspired her family. and friends to pitch in. >> when we give out bags to people, their reaction is happy and glad. i think that might be the best day of their life. >> together, delivering nearly 5,000 care packages, 10,000 meals, and raising over $9,000 to fight hunger in the greater st. louis, missouri, community. >> her impact has been tremendous. she has opened up a lot of eyes. paris has helped me as an adult know that doing one little act,

[applause] >> hello, america. >> we were looking at that piece. your favorite part of delivering these packages is the smiles that you put on people's faces. you make sure that you draw pictures on all of them. why do you love to draw the pictures? >> i love to draw the pictures because if i just told them they were special, that would be fine. they would be happy. if i drew pictures on the bags, i feel like it would be able to last longer and they would be able to look at it when they felt sad or something like that. >> that is very, very
8:33 am
thoughtful. what are some of your favorite messages that you have written? >> well, some of my favorite messages are, like, on one of the bags i wrote, there is a peace sign. it is like a flower and a peace sign. on top of it says "peacemaker." i really like that one. i feel like i have never done that with any of my bags before. i liked all the colors and the peace sign and all the words i wrote on that one. it just made me really happy. >> i'm sure it made whoever got it really happy which is the point of all this. you have made so many adults in your community happy. you don't forget about they kids either. especially those when they celebrate a birthday. tell me about the birthday boxes that you make. >> basically, there are these boxes. we take boxes that we aren't using. we go to the store and we buy
8:34 am
supplies and cups and plates. balloons, party hats. we buy tiny toys for them to play with. and when we are done, we write "birthday box" on it and close it up and send it to the shelter. >> they can have a party if they choose to. you also create special boxes for kids on the transplant waiting list. tell me about that. >> actually, it started when, like, my mom told me about this student in our class who is on the transplant list. and in the afternoon, she has to get hooked up to her machines. she doesn't really have anything to do when she gets hooked up to the machine. i told my mom, what if we made a box and put a bunch of things for her to do inside of it and then give it to her. so we put some things for her to do. nail painting stuff. basically stuff that older kids like to do. she is a little bit old.

8:39 am
i'm looking to read it. >> it is a fun book, robin. it is fun book. imagine spending your career working with dozens of others behind the scenes and helping them find success in writing your own book and hitting the jackpot. that is what happened with jenny jackson with her new book which takes a critical look at family, privilege, and inequality. in the shadow of downtown manhattan sits a neighborhood with spectacular views, staggering wealth, and stories ripe for the telling. this is the scene for the book. "pineapple street" is right on here. here along brooklyn's streets named after fruit, jenny jackson serves up a luscious story in "pineapple street." >> we have written and read a lot about manhattan and the wealthy of manhattan. in brooklyn, it's different. there's so much history in this neighborhood. and so much old money in brooklyn heights. >> the editor behind nearly three dozen "new york times" bestsllers, it is no surprise
8:40 am
that jenny now has one of her own. >> how would you sum up this book with two or three words? >> women, money, marriage. i wanted to write about a family story where people genuinely love each other, but they don't see things the same way. and they have to come around and examine some of their long-held notions. >> the complex tale of the uber wealthy stockton clan is told through the voices of three women. darly, a successful businesswoman turned stay-at-home mom, georgianna, the millennial baby sister grappling with who she wants to be, and sasha, the middle-class sister-in-law trying to fit in. >> let's talk about a quote in the beginning of the novel from a "new york times" report that says, "millennials will be the recipients of the largest generational shift of assets in american history. the great wealth transfer, as finance types call it." is that where your inspiration began, looking at all of this wealth? >> i read this article, and i was inspired. it's about these millennial
8:41 am
heirs who feel that this great inheritance is at conflict with their moral values. they feel that it is absolutely inappropriate for a 25-year-old to be inheriting hundreds of millions of dollars. these young people are setting out to try and divest themselves of their inheritance. i thought, oh, my gosh, that is a novel -- a young woman who has a moral reckoning and wants to give away her fortune. >> filled with quips about america's one per centers, the family dramady jumps off the page and is already set to hit the small screen. >> a hollywood star has signed on to play sasha. i found that fascinating. we have somebody. it was interesting to me to see which of the three women would go first. who would be the most desirable character? so sasha. >> any dream casting? anybody would love to see play one of these roles?
8:42 am
>> don't we want meryl streep for everything? come on, meryl. >> her story likely to captivate viewers as much as readers at its core is about family determined to hold together despite their secrets and their struggles. >> i think that even if people don't identify with these characters, they will understand that these are people in a strange position trying to figure out how to be good. >> very good point. jenny is not quitting her day job. she is still an editor. also in the process of writing her next book, which she says is going to be set in small-town massachusetts where she grew up. while we wait for that, we will read "pineapple street," robin. read along with us. >> good for her. >> amanda mcmaster, what a great story. >> good having you here. sam. >> let's do some cherry blossoms. we are either going to peak today or tomorrow in the d.c. area. take a look right along the potomac.
8:43 am
isn't that gorgeous? the problem with this is the temperatures are in new york city and my central park, the daffodils are up right now. we've had a couple of really good days of spring. take a look of the rain that's moving in and those temperatures change. it will peak today or tomorrow with the cherry blossoms because these warm temperatures. i see. you can see that line as it gets even toward the hudson valley. by the time we get into saturday morning. the problem with this is that it slow drew: i am abc7news meteorologist drew tuma with the accurate forecast. breezy today and a chance of isolated showers in the north bay and most areas are dry and it is a dry weekend before the next storm ariri >> i am here now with "grey's anatomy" star kim raver. tonight's new episode is especially exciting for her. we are going to chat about that in just a bit.
8:44 am
first here is an exclusive clip. >> leo's art class switched to fridays at 5:00. that is when the departments are supposed to turn in their funding request. here, baby. i'm just going to -- i'm just gonna need to do all of that at the nurses station naked with streamers. >> huh? >> what is naked with streamers? >> i will take the kids. you go save lives unsupervised. >> there she is. teddy really taking center stage here. kim, it is great to have you on the show, by the way. how do you feel about this new role that she's taking on? now chief of surgery. >> well, it was really a wonderful thing for me. i also directed this episode. to be the first episode where teddy is chief of surgery. i was running around with a prop walkie-talkie and director with another real walkie-talkie. it was a real thrill to be able to go in front of the camera and behind the camera and to have teddy have this whole new role
8:45 am
for her to explore and tell those stories. >> wearing all the hats at once. >> yeah, really. >> we will talk more about your directorial debut. happy birthday. the big birthday celebration, most people don't like to go to work on their birthday but you did. you went right in. why is that? >> i had about seven scenes that day. you know, i got so close with the crew. not just all the years of being on there. and they also when you are directing, you are so dependent on your crew to execute your vision. it's really become a family. we spend so many hours together. it was just sweet. they sang happy birthday and there was a cake and we did a table read and that on zoom. then they sang happy birthday again. it was sort of an all day celebration. it was fantastic. >> it didn't feel like work. >> we are such a tight group. we had this scene. there were five scenes in the conference room. we were in there altogether all day. we had a lot of laughs.
8:46 am
>> the tight group, the family atmosphere, i understand as your directorial debut was playing out, your cast mates, your crew mates were out there and had some special hats. we have pictures of this. what was that about? supporting you. >> it became my lucky hat. my father used to wear a hat all the time. i wore it to set every day while i was directing and then, the whole crew came on my last day of filming. they all wore hats. that was us taking a picture of the last scene, the last day of filming. >> let's talk about this episode tonight. "grey's anatomy" historically not afraid to wade into hot button issues and topics that are heavily debated across the country. what can we expect tonight? >> tonight is a really, really exciting -- i wasn't sure what kind of episode i was going to get for my first episode to direct. it is such a huge episode. kate walsh comes back. we have a couple stunts. you are not going to want to
8:47 am
miss tonight's episode. the story we really address a really important topic. and i think it is important that we can tell that story so that then the audience can discuss it and we can come to a better place on where we move forward through these kind of topics that are happening in life. i think sean has always been incredible where they are not afraid to address these topics. there are some great stories with the interns. it, for me to be able to do several stunts -- there is a song in it, which also -- >> you're singin? >> i'm not singing. i was behind the camera on that one, which is a good thing. so there is a lot of twists and turns. and i really -- cliffhanger at the end. >> cliffhangers, stunts, and song. we are looking forward to all of it. thank you so much for coming by. we appreciate it. best of luck with everything of course. you can watch the new episode of "grey's anatomy" tonight at
