I know that books I have written will still resonate in 50 years - particularly 'My Sister's Keeper.' It has sold three million copies in the States alone. I strongly feel that as a novelist you have a platform and the ability to change people's minds.
Sometimes I wish that there were a way to let people know that just because I live in a world without rules and in a life that is lawless doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt so bad the morning after.
