Why I wrote The Locket
When I was sixteen, a high school sociology teacher gave us the assignment to visit a nursing home resident every week, for the duration of her course. My first meeting with my adopted resident, Lucille, was as awkward as I imagine a blind date with someone else's great-grandmother would be. Through time, I learned I was Lucille's only visitor, and my attitude began to change. Lucille never spoke to me, but I began to see something change in her demeanor whenever I visited. A quiet gratitude, perhaps. A friendship.

A quiet gratitude, perhaps. A friendship.
Two months after I met Lucille, she died. It was only then that I realized the extent of my connection with her. After learning of her death, I left the nursing home, and I never went back. That is, until I wrote The Locket.
The Locket, like all my novels, is a love story. A story about the young love of Michael and Faye and the challenges they face. It is also a story of old love, between Esther and the man she lost so many years before. But ultimately, it is a story of love between genterations, and the nurturing and forgiveness those relationships always require.
