Lisa Artis asked Janet Fitch:

It has been a while since I read While Oleander but I do remember wishing there was more when it ended...what was your inspiration for the book? The characters were so believable, I really enjoyed it.

Janet Fitch Thank you Lisa. The inspirations for that book were many--where does a river begin? Many tributaries come together to form the great body of a river. I have gathered a lot of material about the writing of that book and my other books on my website, www.janetfitchwrites.com, and I think you'll find there are four or five "origins" of that novel's river.
