How were you able to manage the time frame in which the story takes place while bringing the story to a timely closure?

Sara Nelson asked Lily King:

While your book largely follows the life of Margaret Mead, you do take some liberties, particularly with the resolution of her relationships. . . Why did you make those decisions and has there been any reaction from readers (or the Margaret Mead estate, even?)

Carly Micó asked Lily King:

I'm intrigued by the process of creating characters based on real people; how was it different from unraveling a protagonist who exists only in your imagination? Did your prior research on the true anthropologists inspire you or did it somehow constrict your own creative process?
