On Books and Writing
Q. How did you come to write Giving Up the V?
A. I was sitting in the waiting room of the doctor's office when an older male doctor asked the young twenty something receptionist about his last patient. She was a teen who was brought in by her mother to get on the pill. The girl confided in the doctor that she wasn't ready to Give up the V yet. The doctor wasn't sure what that meant and had to ask the hip young receptionist. My eavesdropping paid off and Giving up the V was born.
