As a child, the highlight of her week was often the Saturday morning drive to the small-town public library, where she would bring home as many books as allowed. Through her reading, she developed an early interest in real-life characters, the friendships they formed, their loyalties, and how they responded to trouble. Her time spent in inner-city outreach and working among the homeless gave her plenty to observe.
