...Balkan politician, then an eccentric New Age guru. The earnest Janez Drnovsek led Slovenia to independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 and, as its popular Prime Minister and President, built coalitions, revamped the economy and brought the country into NATO and the E.U.--the only former Yugoslav republic to join either. After learning in 2001 that he had a recurrence of cancer, the President claimed a "higher consciousness." He ditched his palace for a mountain cabin, renounced "all things evil," became a vegan and resolutely pushed for peace, often unsuccessfully, on diplomatic missions around the world. Drnovsek...
...worthy of the New York Philharmonic. About 1,400 people jammed the hall--a few dozen foreign diplomats and business people, the rest North Koreans.

Meanwhile, Broadway audiences have been growing steadily more diverse in recent years; according to Theater League figures, about 26% of all Broadway theatergoers last season were non-Caucasian, a record high. One big reason was The Color Purple, the hit musical based on Alice Walker's novel of the same name, backed by the seemingly unstoppable Oprah Winfrey...
...your previous books?This one is very timely in a lot of ways for me. It's no coincidence that I wanted it published during an election year. Many of my books come from what if questions that I can't answer, things that I'm worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American. And that really was the impetus for Change of Heart for me. As an American I wanted to explore... why are we the only first world country that still has capital punishment?
