Goodreads asked Debora De Farias:

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

Debora De Farias I knew I wanted to write a historical novel, set primarily in Buenos Aires (because I love that city), and I knew the main character name would be Cecilia ( because it is my great-grandmother's name). Somehow she would be in the health care field (because I am a dentist). Inspired by the book The Air You Breath, one day the idea came to my mind: What if you check about the first female physician in Argentina? Thanks to heavens and to Google Search, there was Cecilia Grierson, and the whole story started immediately to come alive.
