If she did see, I hoped she' be amazed. Amazed and thankful, because without even asking, she'd received a genuine autograph from a genuine girl from Atlanta. Not just any girl, but a girl who was, frankly, a pretty big deal. A girl who was me.

Also, as an author, character has always been what I'm most interested in - much more so than plot or setting, although those are good things too.

And books are such an empowering way to give voice to some of these kids who aren't yet ready to tell their story. Or don't know what their story is, or are trying to figure it out.

Is he a sophomore? Lydia says. Please tell me he's in our grade. I don't know, I say. But weren't you there when he came to the office? Peyton says. The secretary didn't get out her bullhorn and announce what grade he's in. She just took him to meet Headmaster Perkins.
