Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

AnnaLouise Waterson asked Amanda Eyre Ward:

I loved The Jetsetters! I would love to know who inspired "Cord"? - he was my favorite character - addiction is something I have been around since birth and experienced myself and I think you nailed it.

Amanda Eyre Ward To be honest, Cord is inspired by my struggles with drinking. I was newly sober when I took my boys on a Mediterranean cruise to research the book (though I did not succumb to the fruit cocktails, like Cord does)! I've now been sober for almost 4 years, and write about it in my next book, which is a nonfiction book called THE SOBER LUSH (out in June). Getting sober is the hardest and best thing I've ever done.
