And Tina’s section originally was not the last section. Sometimes it’s hard when you’re the author to see your own thing. And part of what happened was that I got good advice. Yeah! That’s interesting, because all of their sections were in a different order when I first submitted the book. ![]() How did you decide what order you wanted to put their narrative threads in? Bill, Stacey, Dan, and Tina’s stories have some overlap throughout the book. When you’re approached by somebody and you can tell what you’ve written has impacted them in some way, that’s not something you can easily wring out as a writer or artist. In particular, people who are from families or know people who struggle with heroin or opiate addiction-that’s something I get an awful lot of, people coming up to tell me some very harrowing and sad stories. Really, the most gratifying thing has been people reaching out and telling me what parts of the book moved them. Have you had any interesting reactions from other Ohioans? ![]()
