There is a psychological explanation for her spiritual desires--her relationship with her parents, and her feeling that she is somehow lost. But you also give the spirituality she finds a lot of credit; she does, in a way, find her destiny. How did you balance that perspective for the book, so that it was about Sharon's character but also about real spirituality?AG: Sharon is a multi-layered character...
