Author draws on her work as a biologist in depicting frog deformities in the fictional New Jersey town where the characters reside. She also draws on her past work as a journalist; between 1984 and 1989 she wrote an award-winning series of articles about the decline of the oyster farming industry in the same area, which was wiped out in 1957 by a parasite; that decline forms the characters’ family background.
