Characters - the real and the created

The next book on my reading list is Wither by Lauren DeStefano (pron. De STEFF ano). While updating my books on Goodreads, I saw that she was a Goodreads author so I checked out her page and then her website and this post caught my eye.

She writes from the heart, that's what touched me the most, that and the photo of her grandmother.

And I especially love the final paragraph.

Enjoy.
