Hello Laurie! How difficult or easy was it to write speak and other books as they involve tough topicswhich are often disturbing?

Laurie Halse Anderson What's really disturbing is to think about the kids and teens who have to live with these tough situations every day. The writing was easy compared to their experiences because I could go back to my life at the end of the day.
