I’ve been thinking about light and dark this week, thanks to my chat with John Charles of The Poisoned Pen bookstore. John found The Sunflower House to be a hopeful book. I was glad to hear it, because I struggled to find hope during my research.
I didn’t set out to write about hope, not consciously. Yet early reviewers of The Sunflower House call it a hopeful book. As it turns out, the reason why hits really close to home. (This one’s for you, mom. ❤️)
More than 200 rejections over 20 years? Yeppers! It’s been a long, wild, winding road to publication.
