After leaving the teaching profession I began to write. One short story lead to the other and I thought I might have a book. That first 'book' ended up in a drawer! No, I don't outline. I research a lot but let my characters decide where they want to go or do next. I like to ride a bike and ideas about the character's paths come up as I pedal along!!Eliana Tobiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882031100666052447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490693687636147413.post-38476798167961893152022-05-25T09:50:26.047-04:002022-05-25T09:50:26.047-04:00Thank you Calvin for your comments.

The story is told from three character's point of view: a mother and son who got separated during Peru's civil conflict and the adult son of a Holocaust survivor who befriends them. As readers engage with the characters they come to understand their background and their psychological make-up. The story is not told in flashbacks, but I included some flashbacks to add another element to the main narrative.

Years later, when I started to write, I read more about the history of that time and how a guerrilla group had terrorized the country with the intent of destroying people's ways of life. I read primary sources and news accounts in order to be able to convey accurate facts. The historical event informed my plot points. I hope my love of the Peruvian culture comes alive in the story.<br /><br /><br />Eliana Tobiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882031100666052447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490693687636147413.post-16483333705792861782022-05-24T16:37:59.081-04:002022-05-24T16:37:59.081-04:00This sounds like an interesting read and I love th...This sounds like an interesting read and I love the cover.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113368398550173018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490693687636147413.post-55131631855992579882022-05-24T16:07:05.036-04:002022-05-24T16:07:05.036-04:00Thank you Katie for your comment.

It's a lovely country with such different geographical areas; the desert on the coast, the rugged Andes mountains in the central part of the country and the jungle located in the Amazon basin. Each have their own feel and people have different ways of life.
