Goodreads asked Billy Beasley:

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

Billy Beasley My best friend, Jack and I were watching the movie A Time to Kill. It is one of my favorites and I have viewed it several times. During this particular viewing the idea floated down. What if a rich, white kid and a black kid meet on a basketball court in the late 60's and become best friends during that racially charged time?
