Dealing with any sensitive subject can be difficult. I don't claim to be an expert. In truth, when I was writing the Face of Deception I didn't even think I was doing anything that the reader might have a problem accepting. I was involved with the characters and they were writing their own story. I believe if the power of the story and characters dominate then it will sweep the reader along with you. Also, my forensic sculptor is totally devoted to healing and giving closure. Hope works miracles.
As far as persuading publishers to accept a concept, there is no formula. You have to find the right editor and you have to write a book powerful enough to blow him or her away. In the end, it's all about storytelling.

Iris Johansen:
I absolutely love your Eve Duncan series books. Unfortunately I stopped somewhere down the line. Thanks to Goodreads I can follow up on books from my favorite author. How does this new series capture new and old audiences in your opinion? I would like to make the suggestion to my book Club and I am not sure if they would have to go to the beginning to read this series.
