Goodreads asked Cortina Jackson:

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

Cortina Jackson I was going through a difficult period in my life. I was being physically and emotionally abused in my marriage, and I was a police officer at the same time. Therefore, I had to protect and serve the public, and could not protect and serve myself. The harsh realities of life led me to write the first 9 chapters of the book.

It was therapy for me, and it reflected a lot of things that other people were dealing with. After years of continued abuse, it finally ceased after my husband accepted a job in another city, and commuted 350 miles on the weekend to see me and my sons. I got writer's block and put the book down. After I finally joined my husband in the city he was working, the abuse started again, only this time the final straw was when he attempted to kill me. I was able to escape, I moved back where I started, and prayed constantly. I was then inspired to finish the book, and it came to me in a series of dreams.

It still reflects the turmoil people experience, why they experience it, where does it come from, and where are we headed in the future!!

It starts out with a conversation in Hell. Satan gives his assignment to willing inhabitants of Hell to go to earth and wreak havoc in peoples lives, so that they will die and join the others in Hell. It's pretty interesting!! I completely dreamed about the way Hell looked, the description of the demons, and the future details that seem to real to be true!
