Heather Warner asked Anat Deracine:

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your book! It was amazing, fascinating, and utterly absorbing!!!!!! I look forward to your future books, you are an incredible author! My question is....how long did you live in the Middle East and how much of this story could be considered autobiographical?

Anat Deracine Hi!

So glad you enjoyed the book. I lived in Saudi Arabia for 10 years, and many of the friendships and experiences of the girls are based on my experiences and those of my friends, family and teachers.
