Check out our interview with Kate White, the author of "I Came Back For You."

What was your inspiration behind your most recent book?

The idea for "I Came Back For You" started with this tiny germ, a question really: How would you react if you learned that what you believed for a very long time turned out not to be true? When I was in my late twenties, I was involved romantically with someone who I eventually discovered was extraordinarily deceptive. After that kind of situation is over for someone, you have to wrestle with the fact that the life you thought you were living didn’t really exist. Though I’m not troubled by that experience anymore, I always wanted to touch on it in a book.

What does Reading Rainbow mean to you?

Reading Rainbow to me means using books to help me explore all kinds of people, places, and experiences. That's what makes reading so magical. And to be honest, when I’m reading, I’m not really thinking about someone being different than me. I'm just drawn to how they’re experiencing love, loss, turmoil, and change. One of my very favorite novels ever is Carry the One by Carol Anshaw. Two of the main characters are lesbian women, but to me it’s just a heart wrenching love story that actually made me sob.

Why do you feel representation of a variety of people is so important when it comes to writing books?

Because the life I lead, especially as a New York City resident and former magazine editor, is filled with people from all sorts of backgrounds and to some extent I’m always borrowing from what I know. My books all include a lot of diversity, which reflects my own life. Several of my closest friends are gay men and women so it’s no surprise that the best friend of the main character (Bailey Weggins) in my eight-book mystery series is a gay man.

Tell us a little more about the book and why you decided to write it.

"I Came Back For You"is both a psychological thriller and a whodunit about a woman named Bree Winter who learns that the man thought to have murdered her daughter has made a deathbed confession saying that yes, he killed four college-aged women, but her daughter was not one of them. Now Bree must return, eight years later, to the college town where her daughter died and search for the truth.

What can fans expect from your book?

Lots of twists and an ending I hope they don’t see coming.
