I found an article that I thought was a great addition to read along with the book. It consists of several questions and answers from the author. Click the link to read it!
One question I would like to focus on from the interviewer was, "What inspired you to write this book?" I believe Gayle's answer is very interesting. She answered with another question:
What would you do if something catastrophic had happened to your family and they were all gone, and you yourself were hovering on the brink between life and death and were somehow cognizant of what had happened to your family. If you could choose to go with your family or stay behind, what would you do?
She says that that's how Mia cane about. So we can learn from and about Gayle through Mia because she wrote from her point of view, what she believed. I think that is a good question to ponder, but hopefully you won't be in that situation.
