Whenever I tell people I’ve written a novel, the first question they always ask is: what’s it about?<\/em><\/p>\n

I find this question difficult to answer.<\/p>\n

On its surface, The Spirit Keeper<\/em> is an Indian captivity narrative set in 1747 in which a 17-year-old girl is removed from her frontier Pennsylvania home by Indians.<\/p>\n

But anyone who’s read The Spirit Keeper<\/em> knows that’s not what the book is about at all. \u00a0In fact, just about every single person I’ve talked to who’s read The Spirit Keeper<\/em> has given me a completely different interpretation of what he\/she thinks book is about.<\/p>\n

And THAT<\/strong>, of course, is what The Spirit Keeper<\/em> is really about. \u00a0It’s all about perspective, which is a frail and ephemeral thing, unique to every individual, every place, and every passing moment. \u00a0And because perspective is also subject to eternal evolution, a reader’s opinion of what this book is about may actually change more than once in the course of the story.<\/p>\n

I know this all sounds like a cagey way of trying to keep from pigeonholing my book, but, honestly, you will find that when you read\u00a0The Spirit Keeper<\/em>, the perspective you bring to the story determines–more than most stories–what you think the book is about, \u00a0Therefore, if you really want to know what the book is about, I guess all I can say is, it’s sort of about you.<\/p>\n

So if you haven’t read it yet, you’d better get yourself a copy and find out what I’ve been writing about you. \u00a0Then drop me a line here on my website and tell me what<\/span> you<\/em> think <\/span>The Spirit Keeper<\/em> is about!<\/span><\/p>\n
