Chris Bohjalian:
Were you aware that you named one of the trafficked women Crystal which was the name of the girl from Burlington Vt ,Christal Jones, who was murdered in NYC while working as a prostitute? I immediately went online to BFP article by Sam Hemingway to confirm my recollection. (I have relocated to SC. Maybe I will see you in Savannah in Feb)

Hi, Susan!
Lovely to hear from you.
No, I had not recalled that news story when I was writing "The Guest Room." I was focused on international trafficking, not domestic, so it never crossed my mind.
I hope you are immersed in all the best ways in "The Guest Room." I miss Alexandra and Kristin especially now that I have finished the novel.
And it would be a delight to see you in Savannah! I'd be honored if you made the drive.
Have a great holiday season.
All the best,
Chris B.
