She included the exact name of someone I knew and some Bethesda references in that book.

Wow, blast from the past. I remember reading that book in...later elementary school? (I grew up in NoVa)

The book was based on the real-life tragic story of her son's best friend who was struck and killed by lightning in Bethany Beach, DE.
And in the book, the main female character in the story (who passes away), is from Arlington, VA.
