But for what it\u2019s worth, executive producer Perry Moore tells The Torch Online, cryptically: \u201cShe appears right where you think she would when you read the book \u2014 in a surprising way you could never guess that is at the same time true to the core of the book.\u201d So we\u2019d \u201cthink\u201d it but we\u2019d never \u201cguess\u201d it?
