Hi Katherine! Hope is definitely a main theme of all of my novels. I am drawn to stories of strength through struggle. The human capacity for hope in uncertain times, and to choose love in the face of adversity are remarkable strengths and I love to write those stories. Thanks for asking about Andrius and Lina! One day I hope to write a story or sequel to show readers how they find one another. I've always imagined that it was their love for one another that kept them alive.

I'd just like to thank you for writing Between Shades of Gray. I read it when I was in 6th grade and it had a big impact on my life. This book made me want read more World War II stories. Because of this, I discovered many more World War II stories that also greatly impacted my life. I also loved Salt to the Sea. Thank you for writing such life-changing stories. What will you write next?
