Gina asked Mary E. Pearson:

I am a huge fan of Lia. Where did you get your inspiration for such a wonderful main character?

Mary E. Pearson From many women and teens I have known or admired from afar. Lia is incredibly strong--but flawed too. For me that makes her real. She makes mistakes, learns from them, and moves forward--or at least tries too. I've talked a lot about strong women and the role they play in our lives. You can find articles on my website where I go into greater depth about strong women in books!
