We Are All Welcome Here
“But this time, with Pat Raming and Marianne Raming Burke, you took a real-life experience and made it your own. What was different this time? What about their story spoke to you? Elizabeth Berg: It wasn’t the story that spoke to me, at least at first. Rather it was a photograph Marianne sent to me of her mother, Pat. Something in her face was so strong. I needed to know—and tell—about her. What I loved about the true story was Pat’s refusal to let extremely difficult circumstances prevent her f...rom having a rich and rewarding life. When I wrote the fictional book, I was interested in looking at a lot of issues. One of these was: Is it “fair” for a severely handicapped woman to try to raise an able-bodied child? Another was: What does freedom really mean? RC: Paige and Diana may have been based on real people, but they are fictional characters. How did you balance the Ramings’ story with the Dunns’ story? And how did you create such a rich, vibrant, and unique mother/daughter dynamic? EB: Oh, this is always such a hard question to answer.MoreLess
