Katya de Becerra asked Lucia DiStefano:

What was your inspiration for writing Borrowed?

Lucia DiStefano Thank you so much for this question, Katya! I've always been fascinated by the phenomenon of cellular memory, especially in the cases of heart transplant patients (when the transplant patient is inexplicably affected by things from the donor's life--like preferences, allergies, tendencies). Science doesn't understand it, and the evidence so far is mostly anecdotal, but I had that "what if?" question nibbling at the edges of my mind for a long time before I started exploring it in the novel. Thanks again for asking :)
