Ruta Sepetys
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.

Ruta Sepetys:
Hi Ruta, Between Shades of Grey is one of my favorite books, it really touched a core inside me, as Romanians, we have too a complicated history with Russia and communism. When you write a book do you know from the beginning where it will lead (more precisely do you have a plan from the start with the characters or you go where the story leads?) Do you ever plan on coming to Romania?
