My last book, Irises, is about two sisters. Mary who is gentle and artistic and Kate who is strong and ambitious. I got the idea to write about two sisters who were so different from reading about Mary and Martha, the two sisters in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. Mary the contemplative sits at Jesus' feet listening to him while Martha goes about doing things. Martha complains to Jesus and Jesus tells her not to fret so much that Mary is doing the right thing. So that was the seed of an idea and many years later the seed grew into a book.
