Goodreads asked Nirmala Moorthy:

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

Nirmala Moorthy I've had a fourth novel on a back burner for some time and it deals with the problems faced by elderly immigrants in America who have no one to look after them in their home countries. They are forced to live in the USA with children who have no time for them, with grandchildren who have to keep running to stay in place on the ladder of achievement, who sometimes don't even speak their mother-tongue. This is the story of two women, one young and the other old, who meet on the plane to Los Angeles and find the support they need in each other..
