MCCAMMON: Now, your book, of course, is out at a time when there's a renewed understanding that white supremacy didn't go away in the 1960s when the president of the United States says things like there were very fine people on both sides of the deadly protests in Charlottesville and suggests that American citizens, elected congresswomen who all happen not to be white should go back to where they came from. How much were these themes and these political themes on your mind as you were writing this novel?
