Thus, the main feature of her book is same-gender characters telling about their involvement in abusive relationships. They introduce the topic of each chapter with their thought-provoking stories. Additionally, she believes her book is the only one written especially for youth who are LBGTQ. Chandler, a Iowa transplant, lives with her partner Pat and Animal Companions in Sacramento, California.
