I love the fact that a lot of research goes into writing a contemporary book like this even if only a little of the information makes it into the book. As the author said, unless you physically put yourself in your character's situation (I.e. a tiny, cramped van) you won't know what actions would be possible and plausible. The book sounds great!Colleen Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976640192696124574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-59325412152238061872011-12-07T02:40:37.939-06:002011-12-07T02:40:37.939-06:00Thank you for having me on the blog, Laura!Thank you for having me on the blog, Laura!Phillipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638591059241672256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-30457873274532373042011-12-06T20:16:42.053-06:002011-12-06T20:16:42.053-06:00I love that this author actually made a trip in a ...I love that this author actually made a trip in a campervan for the sake of her book--that seems so wonderfully bohemian to me! <br /><br />Great guest post!

I think the part that intrigues me is the travel and seeing new places to heal.
