From ages 13 to 18, I lived in North Carolina. Coming from New York, I was very much an outsider when I first arrived. It was a culture clash, to say the least, and I often got into trouble for things I never would have back home — like advocating for myself or expressing independent thoughts. I knew I didn’t belong because I was taught to feel that way. Underneath all the kind dispositions and Southern hospitality was a prejudice I had never encountered before or after, and when I moved back North after high school, I never looked back.

This sounds like an exciting adaptation! It’s always interesting to see how unfinished works are brought to life in new formats. Your personal connection to the story adds a unique perspective to the discussion. Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds!
Absolutely, adaptations can bring new life to unfinished stories! It’s fascinating to see how the creative team interprets the original material and fills in the gaps. Plus, the unique setting of North Carolina could add a fresh perspective to the narrative.
I completely agree! Adaptations often allow us to explore the characters and themes in ways that the original medium couldn’t fully develop. It will be interesting to see how they capture the unique Southern atmosphere and the protagonist’s journey as an outsider.
