L'auteure a une passion pour l'enquête créative, fouillant au plus profond du cœur et de l'âme des personnages, tout en les impliquant dans les mondes complexes et souvent dangereux qui les concernent. Son travail témoigne d'une profonde admiration pour le courage face à l'adversité. Elle s'efforce d'être précise, exacte et intellectuellement rigoureuse, tout en écrivant avec le langage du cœur, explorant tout ce qui fait des êtres humains des personnes complètes mais faillibles, et testant leur trempe de toutes les manières possibles. Sa non-fiction reflète le même respect pour la clarté de pensée sur des sujets de fond, complexes et nuancés.
