An Anonymous Girl

by Greer Hendricks

We all have reasons for our actions. Even if we hide the reason from those who think they know us best. Even if the reasons are so deeply buried we can’t recognize them ourselves.

Greer & Sarah:We write every line of our novels together in real time, using Google Docs and Hangouts, and we both vividly recall crafting these words. In fact, this passage from the prologue is one of the first sections we worked on. We knew it would set the tone for our entire book, so it was vital we got it right. Although we typically shuffle lines, substitute words, and flip around scenes during the revision process, this one remained largely intact from that first draft.
