Have you ever thought about how the #MeToo movement might have impacted your favorite characters? What if the world saw your character as unlikeable or difficult, but the world’s new lens saw her as beloved and endearing?
The People We Keep is a captivating coming-of-age story pulled at every heartstring as you follow one girl's journey towards finding love in her chosen family.
April Sawicki lives in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, and picking up shifts at a local diner, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home.
When she “borrows” her neighbor’s car to perform at an open mic night, she realizes her life could be much bigger than where she came from. After a fight with her dad, April packs her stuff and leaves for good, setting off on a journey to find a life that’s all hers.
You will find a very determined voice in this character, but April isn't the only determined woman.
In today's interview, you will find that Allison Larkin is just as determined.
She wants her story told and will not compromise in any fashion on this story, no matter how long it might take or how many hands it had to pass. Ultimately, it has become such a beloved book to many readers because of her dogged determination.
So today, we celebrate her!
