And I love A Million Miles because I feel sad for Lucy who lost her mom, and because it was the hardest of my books to write. Thanks for asking!

For forty years, I’ve been trying to write a fictional tennis story about two sisters. My first attempt, in college, received kudos from my creative writing teacher and fellow classmates but was never published. It wasn’t good enough.
