Reese Witherspoon's first adult novel began with a familiar writer's muse: a character who refused to be ignored. This central figure is a military doctor, later performing plastic surgery for mysterious clients.
“I had never had an idea for a character in my whole life. She was sort of living in my head, and once that happens I knew I was going to have to do something about it,” Witherspoon said this week as she and co-author Harlan Coben spoke in a conference room at the Apple SoHo store in downtown Manhattan, shortly before they were interviewed for an upcoming podcast, Bookmark.
