Inside the Turbulent Journey of Sarah Boon: Secrets Behind the Rise and Fall of a Field Scientist
SB: I knew who I wanted to include before I started writing the book, and these were women that I knew about, had read about or had met in person. It was basically a case of where to put them in the book. For example, I had Chris Czajkowski in a different section of the book, and it didn’t really work – there’s that creative problem-solving. So I had to put her in a different part where it made more sense. I tried to have one woman in each chapter, and I tried to make their story match with the chapter. I only had to do two interviews because I knew the women, but needed a bit more information, but the others I already knew about or had already interviewed for a previous project. I picked their stories because I knew them, and I knew they would fit in my book, and I just had to fit them in the way that felt right.
