Goodreads asked Bethany Thompson:

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

Bethany Thompson From the history book I went through while being home schooled. It actually gave me a whole bunch of ideas, and I had all kinds of story snippets. When I told my younger sister the scenes I'd created about a girl during the Civil War, she advised me to write a book about it. And so I did, loving the research and the writing, and biting my lip in some frustration during the editing.
