This question is easy for me as my debut novel is based on a family secret! Everything We Thought Was True, is a deeply personal, but fictional, novel inspired by my family’s unique story. It's told in dual timeline and deconstructs a secret that forever shapes an Italian American family, through the perspective of three distinct characters—a husband and wife in the past story from the late 1960s to 1990s, and their adult daughter in the contemporary story in summer 2015. All three characters are grappling with the right and the nerve to live according to the desires of their heart rather than the limiting expectations of the world around them and within them.

I'd like to visit The House in the Cerulean Sea in the fictional world created by T.J. Klune. I just finished reading that book and would love to hang out with the characters on the magical island of Marsyas.
