Goodreads asked Roxanne Bocyck:

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

Roxanne Bocyck Catherine's Dream is based on a true story about my grandmother who came from Poland in 1921. We always knew she came to America in the Steerage of a ship and went through Ellis Island, but what we didn't know is she orginally came under an arranged marriage where she would end up in a papermill town on the foothills of the Adirondacks and face a circumstance that would tear her world apart.
