Goodreads asked Elizabeth Mitchell:

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

Elizabeth Mitchell I was in the manuscript division of the New York Public Library researching another topic, when I noticed they held the diary of the artist Bartholdi from when he first came to America in 1871. He was pitching the statue cold and that so contradicted what I thought the story of the statue to be, I was compelled to investigate further.
