Yea...Thank you so much for reviewing my book, Sara! Yeah, the research was really difficult. To write Max's character, I had to read the most god-awful things. I still can't comprehend that people did that to other people. Everyone knows what the Nazis did. The challenge was to write about ordinary people, to create ordinary workaday lives, and then drop in the horror. Stephen King was a big influence. He's great at that.helen maryles shankmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658410916146186210noreply@blogger.com
