Goodreads asked Krysta MacDonald:

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

Krysta MacDonald In The Girl with the Empty Suitcase, Danielle has a very... complicated... relationship with her mother. I wanted to explore this idea that there is always a reason that people are the way they are, and everyone has a story we know nothing about. One, average day says so much about a person, even more than those "big moments". That's the reality of life for us all. Plus the early 60s was a tumultuous time for young women. All of that is coming together in my current work in progress.
