Along with interviewing my aunts & godmother, I delved into firsthand accounts of people who lived through the war in the Philippines and in Italy. I researched the guerrilla troops in the Philippines, the resistance in Italy, particularly women's roles within the resistance, and music in Italy under Mussolini, among many other topics. I also reached out to a few professors who helped direct me in my research efforts.

I've also visited Italy several times, which helped as I wrote. More information on my research can be found on my website under Extras.(less)

As a child, I was captivated by the stories my mom and aunts told about their lives in the Philippines before, during, and after the war, along with my aunt, who voice-trained in Italy with their nonna, a former Italian soprano.

The novel was inspired by their stories and by the desire to honor them and their experiences. My mom and aunts were strong women who, by example, showed it's possible to go through significant difficulty and still live life fully, with joy and hope.(less)
