But the biggest folks to get redeemed are certainly Benjamin, Dolly & Tom. Best, Hannah Dear Allie,

I'm trying to take notes on the book and I remember a quote that Ren says about the letters the boys write about how happy they are now that they are adopted, but Ren realizes they are lying. It says something about happiness in it I think. Do you know where it is in the book? Thanks! I read your book over the summer for a summer reading assignment for my school…

I’ve written about 100 pages of a sequel, though I am also working another novel at the moment and developing a comic book as well, so not sure when it will see the light of day. It will eventually, I’m sure, and then more on all of the characters will certainly be revealed. Will Benjamin return someday and see Ren again? I think so. As for whether or not Dolly & McGinty are sociopaths, they probably are in different ways, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have redeeming qualities too. I believe that even the worst people have some hidden parts of them that are good. cheers, Hannah Dear Mark,

You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way. Makes me think of this aphorism (attributed to Doctorow): Writing is like driving at night in the fog.

Also, even if you don't write a sequal, well, as apt as a sequal sounds, I am dying to hear the backstories of pretty much all the main characters, but especially Ren's parents. If you decide not to write a sequal, could you write a collection of everyone's backrounds? I found the lack of a backstory frustrating when trying to think of character analyses. Especiall For instince, I was wondering whether or not Dolly wass a sociopath, (he killed with no remorse, yet he befriends and loves Ren.) Or Silas McGrunty, was HE a sociopath? He seemed to love his sister but cut off Ren's hand... Does Benjamin actually ever return? I THOUGHT it was stated by Tom he won't. (I believe it said "He shook his head." I couldn't tell if that was affirmitive or not...) I seriously would want you to explore that. Certainly, i would love to know how much of the final speech on Benji by Ren is legit and how much is silver-tonguing it. Sorry for spamming you with questions, I've read a lot of books, but its been quite a while since a book has so intrigued me! I really enjoyed it, very gripping, I didn't sleep last night, I never put it down. (Literally) Hey Hannah!
