In the novel A Stranger Is Watching by Mary Higgins Clark, all the characters in the story seem very realistic. Most of the characters in the story have many predicaments. I can relate to the predicaments that are going on in the story because there are many issues going on today about abducting in the U.S. and even over seas. In my novel it's about a woman, Sharon and a little boy named Neil. They both got abducted. All these kidnappings are happening because of money issues. It may be an illegal thing or something that happened legally went wrong. This story reminds me of one of my old friends. Her name is Desire. She was abducted by her father's friend. He abducted her because her father and his friend were gambling illegally and Desire's father refused to give him the money when he lost. So the man thought he could get his money back by abducting Desire and having Desire's father pay the ransom. Well all in the end Desire's father paid the ransom but later on the abductor was caught a couple of days later.
