Growing up in upstate South Carolina, my summers were spent traveling between my grandparents homes. One week, my sister and I were dropped off at my dad's childhood home in the city. The next week, we would drive an hour out into the country to my Papa's small house on the lake. I was lucky. Spending that time in vastly different surroundings exposed me to people with unique points of view. I met people who chose the life they were living and I met people who had their life forced upon them. That perspective had a unique impact on the themes present in Therest.
