People will flock to the screen if they know they're gonna see great competition. While I still stand behind the old staples like the Super Bowl and March Madness, and almost never get off the couch during the Olympics, I admit I eagerly anticipate Temptation Island and Survivor because those shows provide better competition most days than your average NBA game...

Yamanaka, who lives in Honolulu with her son and husband, does not say which details of Sonia's struggles match her own, but does admit that "everything I write starts with some kind of kernel of truth, and then I've got to make it bigger. Life--at least my life--is pretty mundane." Her fictional world, on the other hand, is deliberately unsafe. "Part of truth telling is standing at the edge of the cliff and saying, I've got to see this, and then you jump," she says. "You don't know how you're going to land...
