Dear Librarian, As the mother of seven and a physician trained in pediatrics, I believe that the abduction of a child evokes the most primal of fears, a terror beyond even the most vivid imagination. On page one of AND THEN THERE WAS ONE we face this heartrending premise: nine year old girls, identical triplets, go into a movie theater, and only one comes out. AND THEN THERE WAS ONE exploits the most basic of fears, the loss of a child, or in the case of the Monroe triplets, children. This family is at the very pinnacle of anguish. Sammie and Alex have vanished, but the emotional stress on little Jackie is overwhelming, too. Although when writing AND THEN THERE WAS ONE I aimed for super-psychological suspense, I also wanted to explore the emotional glue that holds a family together in crisis. Since the Monroe are a biracial family, racial perspective intertwines as the tension and fear and terror escalate.
