A Goodreads user asked Alex Richards:

What message did you hope readers took away from Accidental? (P.S. Loved ^it! So raw and emotional, one of my new favorites!)

Alex Richards Thank you so much for reading it! I'm so glad you liked it. One of the main things I was aiming for was a message of hope. That no matter what you've been through or how insurmountable a problem may seem, closure and healing are possible. Also, I hope readers will (start or continue to) think about gun safety and storage laws. No matter what side of the gun issue you fall on, it is important to realize the impact -- and fallout -- of improperly storing guns, especially around children. There are way too many stories like Johanna's happening in this country. Thanks again for reading!
