Jennifer Federocko asked Lois Lowry:

You published The Giver in the 1993, but Son wasn't published until 2012. Did you always have an idea of where you were going with the story, or did it begin to take shape as you wrote? I am a middle school teacher, and we will be studying The Giver this fall. We will also be talking a lot about the writing process. I would love to share with my students the process that unfolded over two decades.
