Timothy C. Sansone
Within the last few years, I learned about a concept from psychology called "attachment theory." It tries to describe the way we connect with people at work, in our family, and in romantic relationships. This theory proposes that there are four types or styles, ranging from "secure" to "avoidant" to "anxious" to "fixated." At different times of our lives, and with different people, we may exhibit different styles.
Thinking back to my own life and what I've observed with friends and family members, I realized there's definitely something to the theory. So I thought, "What would happen if I wrote a book with four main characters, each of whom exhibits one of these styles? And what would happen if we throw these characters together in a big city, mixing different generations and even different cultures?
The result -- in the world of modern-day Chicago depicted in my book -- is a bit of "Sex and the City" with Mr. Big in every episode, and "The Affair" with Jessica Jones as the lead character.
I hope readers enjoy seeing how it all plays out on the page!
