I had a friend who was incredibly gorgeous, so stunning that people thought they’d had a celebrity sighting when we went out together. The trouble was, she had a seriously undeveloped moral compass, and so I watched in horror and fascination as she bulldozed through lives, stealing/lying/cheating, leaving chaos and broken relationships in her wake.

The Long Way Home: The Story Behind The Tender

People often ask writers where an idea comes from. CHOSEN was my MFA thesis inspired both by my work in adoption and our baptism by fire into parenthood. What Pretty Gets You was actually the first story I ever wrote; an exploration of the limitations of physical beauty in both place and person, and an exploration of female friendship. The Summer After was literally a dream I had while on book to
