What were some ideas that were important for you to explore in this book? I enjoyed the themes of family and friends running through the novel. There is not greater joy for a writer to hear that. When they read my book they told me I inspired them in so many ways. The survivors and their families are my inspiration because they never gave up in the pursuit of justice. I based it during the 1930’s because even fewer people cared about what was happening. “We never had a voice while those terrible things were happening.” I wanted to be their voice and bring to light one story that I know does just that. I spoke to a survivor firsthand from such abuse that occurred in the 1960s. What served as your inspiration as you wrote this provocative story? Cecilia House follows Patricia after a series of events destroys the life she knew.
