I didn't have one 'a-ha' moment where I knew exactly what was going to happen in CAN’T TAKE IT BACK. I started it knowing that I wanted to write a story about the power of female friendships and how important those bonds are for women.
This was a theme from which I could draw inspiration from my own life and experiences because I never would have made it through my relationship issues and motherhood challenges without my friends by my side.
I’ve also always been fascinated by the way love evolves differently for couples. Specifically, how men and women change as individuals as their relationships mature and the decisions they make for the sake of their marriages.
I chose to write in multiple POVs so I could tell each woman’s story individually and also show how they came together with intersecting storylines. Each of the female characters in CAN'T TAKE IT BACK has a little bit of me in their soul.
