I am unsure about my future and what I would like to do, but I am looking forward to finding out. My parents divorced when I was ten, and as a result, my family is very large. This event in my life encouraged me to write The Girl in Black. I was inspired to write this book for young women who have gone through a tough situation and as a result have become insecure about themselves and the people around them. Though not as severe, I have gone through times of pain, suffering, and resolution in my life. DJ’s story proves that there is always hope in life. I would like my readers to take away from this story that there is always hope in what may seem the worst part of one’s life. What I also wish to accomplish with this story is the importance of respect. Always respect one another, because everyone is fighting their own battle in life.показать меньше
