Story Behind The Book

This story was influenced by several different things: When a friend died I realized I was taking a secret to my grave. It wasn't an exciting secret, but writer's play the "What if..." game to create a story. We live on the border where this story takes place and Juarez, Mexico became the murder capital of the world when the drug cartels went to war. My stepfather's cousin was killed for going to the wrong birthday party so the abstract events became personal. Some of the events mentioned in the book are real and I did research to make the story as authentic as possible, but it is a work of fiction.
