Goodreads asked Darla Garvey:

How do you get inspired to write?

Darla Garvey One of the first things I remember thinking, after losing my 12-year-old son, was, "This is how the story ends. No one else will ever meet him." Then I read REAL MOUNTAINS by Dan Seftick. In his introduction he said that he wrote so that those who knew his son would always remember him. And those who never met him would wish that they had. That's when I realized that I was wrong. My son's story doesn't end if I write it, and people WILL get to meet him.
