On "Book Stew" from WCTV, Janice Deal talks with Eileen MacDougall about fictional characters who won't let go of you - in this case, how her novel THE BLUE DOOR grew out of stories in STRANGE ATTRACTORS.

She also explains why the novel incorporates a fairy tale. AND what happens when a mother says something terribly painful that she shouldn't have said.
