Goodreads asked Judith Turner-Yamamoto:

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

Judith Turner-Yamamoto Loving the Dead and Gone found seed in my first memory, a family misfortune, much of which, I would only learn as an adult, was the fiction of a three-year-old shaped by the character of my childhood and all that came after.
