In the years before it, one of my grandmother's had passed away. I was observing the difficult journey of aging parents and grandparents and thinking quite a bit about that and how it effects families. The characters in the book are invented by me, even the grandparents, Stanton and Catherine, do not closely resemble my grandparents. But some of the things Stanton and Catherine say in the book are words I heard my grandparents say. Reading the manuscript again for the publishing process years later, I still feel the characterizations are true. The story is really timeless in that it does not rely on any particular epoch in time, political climate, social climate, etc. It is truly about family struggles that happen everywhere and to anyone.(less)
