Jennifer asked Colleen Oakley:

I just finished 'The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise' and I loved it. Given your anecdote about Sybil Ludington and at least two characters named after towns in Connecticut (Danbury and Trumbull), I had to ask: did you grow up there? Congrats on the book's success. Fingers crossed that the movie works out.

Colleen Oakley Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for reading! I did not grow up in Connecticut, but I do love the story about Sybil. Danbury and Trumbull were just coincidental—had no idea they were towns in CT but I love that they are.
xx,
C
