Hi Gray,
Thank you so much for taking the time to ask some great questions. It's true, there are many unanswered threads because the reader only can know what Rachel knows, and Rachel is what we call an "unreliable narrator" because she has been kept in the dark and can only know what she can uncover and/or what others will tell her.
I'm glad you asked about Magda's stepmother. I wondered what to do with that when I was writing Girl Desecrated. Who was this woman Rachel never met? Well, in light of the depth of the deception from Magda, perhaps there never was any woman, no step-mother at all? Perhaps Magda just lived with her cousins the whole time she was "befriending" Rachel over the years. These are some tidbits that could come to light in the second book. I just have to decide if they are worth spending time investing in and how to naturally bring this information in.
