In Not Without Yesterday, we follow Claire from high school to marriage and career, to big changes and surprises. Today I chat with the author, Rachel Trusty, about how this book allowed her to process life events, how she writes full-time, and the power of her title.
Creating characters that reflect actual human thoughts and emotions is Rachel's favorite part of writing. Rachel wrote very little until her senior year of high school when she realized that she could fill a sheet of paper with her own words. When that discovery was made, the pretend and imaginary that lived inside her head could finally come out. Her first book was published in June 2017 when Rachel was only 18 years old. Since then, she has written contemporary and historical young adult fiction. Exploring the world around her, learning about cultures and places, people watching, and taking long drives brings new inspiration to her every day.
