The 53-year-old actress said she knows the consequences a kid faces after the parents separate as she herself has been through that, reported People magazine.
"My parents were divorced and I know how hard it is. I thought how do you cultivate integrity in a young man? How's this going to work? I read and read and read, and I talked and talked and talked.
"I came across this book (The Human Comedy by William Saroyan) and I felt that there was a lot of wisdom in the book, the great questions that were being asked," Ryan said.
Ithaca stars Meg Ryan, Sam Shepard, Hamish Linklater and Jack Quaid.
