Honestly, I’m not sure which of my books you’re asking about.
If you mean The Krasinski Collapse, then the part that resonates with me most is how a person reacts when they’re suddenly thrown out of all familiar patterns. Extreme situations strip you down to who you really are.
I’ve also had to lose a certain level of life and start over, so Matthew’s pain is close to me — even though some of his traits are unpleasant to me as a person. That contradiction is what makes him real.

The mystery of my own birth out of more than two million possible chances. Imagine how many other lives could have unfolded, how many stories might have been written, if fate had chosen differently.

Dying in the ditch, he understood at last, with dreadful finality, that God would not come.
