Creator's Statement
Teweles tells stories about people driven by ambition, necessity, or circumstance to cross a moral line.
Her characters want something badly enough that the rules they once lived by begin to bend. The question is not simply whether they will succeed, but what they will need to sacrifice to succeed—and who they will become in the process.
Once they cross that line, can they still hold on to their moral compass? Or does every compromise make the next one easier?
Success and integrity collide, where there are no easy choices, and where getting what you want may exact the highest price of all.
