10/24/2018 0 Comments Behind the Book TagHello! My name is Heather Kirchhoff. I am the Young Adult author of Fading and The Last Night. Last week I joined in with the Behind the Book Tag by Mani Lynn, so I figured I’d share my answers with you today.
Day one: What is your book about? What is the genre? The Last Night is a Young Adult realistic fiction novel. It’s about a young girl trying to find her way. Sarah’s world changes forever when she receives unexpected news. Now, she’s stuck between the past and present. Between what was and what is. Day two: Was the story inspired by anything in real life? Yes. Yes it was. I almost lost someone in my family to suicide when I was a freshman in high school. Eight months after this event happened, one of my classmates killed himself. I realized that I needed to write a book about suicide and depression as soon as possible. Day three: Why did you write the story? I wrote The Last Night hoping it’d bring awareness to suicide, depression and bullying. I feel like mental illnesses needs to be talked about more. And taken seriously. Day four: What do you hope to make readers think or feel? I hope my book inspires someone to keep going. To never give up. No matter what life throws their way, I hope they keep fighting. Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! I post every Wednesday. My debut novel is about a girl struggling to cope after a love one dies. It deals with bullying, depression and suicide. You can check out The Last Night here! Feel free to check me out on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I’d love to interact with you!
