Julianna Keyes:
Is Rachel latina? She's mentions speaking Spanish because of her childhood at the very beginning of Time Served.

Hi Linda,
Rachel's ethnicity is ambiguous because she never knew her father. Her mother is white, though, and she spoke English at home. Dean's (absent) father was American and his mother Colombian, so I imagined Rachel mostly learned Spanish from hanging out at their home, and growing up in a diverse neighbourhood. I had included some of these details in my original drafts of the story, but it's been so long that I can't remember what made the cut and what didn't!
Thanks :)
