I stayed with them, and Erin and my granddaughter Brooklyn accompanied me on a road trip to Farmville, which served as a basis for my fictional town of Lee’s Gulch, Virginia. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? I’d love to spend time with Rachelle. She’s such a good friend, sister, daughter, and teacher. She works hard, but she also knows how to have fun. You can count on her.
