Goodreads asked Joshua Banker:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Joshua Banker I've always been a fan of Stu Redman and Fran Goldsmith from King's The Stand. These are two people with distinct upbringings who come together during extraordinary circumstances. Through their time together, the reader feels a growing relationship that serves as the backbone to the main narrative. While Stu's relationships are on display in the last act of the book, his love of Fran is what drives him to the end. It's a surprisingly endearing love set during a time of great upheaval.
