what did you have in mind the theme of the book being?

Hi, 

Some of the big themes I focused on were trust and manipulation: how to discern whom to trust—and how to learn to trust yourself. I’ve also always been fascinated by the border between sanity and insanity, and for this novel I tried to “walk the line” between the two. Toward the end of the novel, the theme I focused most on was courage/overcoming obstacles. It’s always interesting to think about how people in dire situations pull themselves up and out and change their lives. 

Thanks for asking!
