A Goodreads user asked Jenn Bishop:

What gave you the Idea of writing the book The Distance to Home?

Jenn Bishop Years before I started writing the book, I met a family that provided homestays for minor league baseball players, which sounded like the most amazing experience ever. That idea was tucked away into my subconscious until I started writing the first draft of this book, which, like many of my first drafts at the time, was very much written on the seat of my pants. All I had was a girl who was up late at night because she was sad! My books really do often start with just a tiny spark, and then I follow the "whys" to figure out more of the story.
