Goodreads asked Jolene R. Whitten:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jolene R. Whitten My recent book - Garment of Destiny - hasn't yet been published. It's a sequel to A Thousand Fibers. I first decided to write a sequel because people kept asking me about the characters, imagining what might happen next in their lives. Then, I became very interested in the plight of refugees around the world and decided to try to somehow bring attention to the issue in my writing. My hope is that readers see refugees simply as ordinary people like themselves - that they feel a connection.
