Goodreads asked Allie Walker:

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

Allie Walker On My Way Home, the first three chapters, came from one of the darkest weeks of my life. I thought I was going to lose my mother, my sister was suffering and there was nothing I could do, and someone stole $500.00 from me, which was the least of my problems, but the icing on the cake for that three day time period. I went to talk to a therapist to avoid a nervous breakdown, and she asked me what I did for myself. I said that I write sometimes, but it isn't anything special. She instructed me to write down everything I was feeling. It turned into a very rough version of the first three chapters of On My Way Home.
