Goodreads asked Cheryle Coapstick:

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

Cheryle Coapstick Bodie Thoene challenged me to write my family story so my grandchildren would know the kind of world their great-grandparents lived in. There were so many gaps in the information I had about my mother's history and when I shared my frustration with her she told me to write what I knew and let my heart fill in the rest. This I have tried to do while staying true to my mother's life and times.
