Dawn asked Claire Legrand:

Ms. Legrand, would you consider it probable that Victoria, from The Cavendish Home, has OCD? And if so, did you write her as such intentionally, or unintentionally? Thanks so much!

Claire Legrand Hi Dawn! This is a really interesting question! I'm not sure if Victoria has OCD, and since I'm not a mental health professional--and don't know that much about OCD--I would hesitate to diagnose her. But I do think that Victoria probably suffers from *some* form of anxiety disorder, especially since I based her in part on my own twelve-year-old self, and I also have anxiety.

Thank you for reading the book, and for asking me this question! Have a great day!
