Goodreads asked Eileen Charbonneau:

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

Eileen Charbonneau A friend told me the extraordinary story of the Irish orphans of the Great Hunger who were adopted by French Canadian farm families. What if one of those orphans grew up to serve in the American Civil War? What if he fell in love with an heiress of a Maryland plantation? Lots of potential for drama there!
