Goodreads asked Andrea Weir:

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

Andrea Weir I have always been interested in the breadth and depth of human emotion and how our emotions manifest themselves in our actions and choices. And that many of our choices stem from the losses we've experienced and the consequent subconscious need to protect ourselves. For a long time, I wanted to explore the theme of motherless children — rooted in my own experience, no doubt — and decided to do so through fiction.
