I live about six hours from Bolivar Peninsula, but we've visited a lot over the years. Before Ike and after Ike. It was unreal what the hurricane did to this place. I remember I got the idea for Heart Bones as I was visiting there with my cousin in 2014. It had been six years since Ike, but there was still debris and destruction in areas where they hadn't been able to rebuild yet. We took a golf cart to an area near rollover pass, and I remember seeing pieces of a boat buried in the dunes and wondering what happened to the owner. There were a lot of little things I witnessed during my visits there that ended up being put into this book.
