Fran Hawthorne
The seed for my debut novel "The Heirs" came from a boy in my son's first-grade class. Um, and my son is now 23 .... Well, I guess I needed to write 8 nonfiction books first. Anyway, that boy's parents were Polish Catholics, which prompted me to think about my own father, a Jew born in Poland, whose family luckily got out before Hitler invaded. And that led to the sadly perennial question: How do we treat our neighbors who are "different"?
