Goodreads asked Bonnie Meekums:

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

Bonnie Meekums A Kind of Family, which was my debut novel and recently published by Between the Lines Publishing, started as several connected short stories. I didn't start out with a concept - it crept up on me, unawares. Wiuth hindsight, though, I can see I was inspired by several things, not least my connection to New Zealand, my international and far flung family, and my own experience of childhood separation (which in my case was due to illness).
