Only, I was still lacking their backstory. The girl, Kate, shed her nursing scrubs for a massage table, and David, the young professional, traded his briefcase for a chalkboard. Instead of D.C., they lived in Baltimore. These thoughts rattled around and festered until a story emerged and characters came to life. What if they were lovers with a dark, complicated past? What if nothing about them was as it seemed? What if they shared a terrible secret, and someone knew? Maybe they were more than friends. Worse yet, what if these three were actually being watched? Like, in real life, by someone with malice rather than curiosity. It was a busy street, after all, surely other people noticed. Mundane, everyday activities that inspired endless speculation on my part.Īt one point during those voyeuristic drive-bys, I began to wonder if perhaps I wasn’t the only one watching. Who were they?

We’d recently gone through our own rather painful home reno project, so I was instantly drawn to this particular home. It was well loved, but in need of repair, and it appeared to be going through a renovation. Ancient and narrow with crumbly brick, yellow shutters and matching trim. Most blended together, but there was one that really stuck out. My son and I passed through miles of city streets on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis to get there.

Was the writing clear and accessible, too dense to fathom or somewhere in between?Ĭhildren’s Hospital is a pretty significant distance from our home.

Are the characters likeable but flawed? Will readers identify?.

Are right and wrong complex? Is there more than one way of looking at the issues?.
