Goodreads asked Laura Town:

How do you get inspired to write?

Laura Town My father was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease before he was 65. As an only child of divorced parents, I had to navigate the legal, financial, and medical worlds to determine how to best take care of his needs. It was a daunting experience, with a task list that seemed never-ending in addition to dealing with the emotional toll of watching someone you love every day disappear. There was not one source of information I could go to in order to get the answers I need. I started writing these books to help others in my situation. It's taken more time than I imagined, but if I help one person through this difficult journey than it is more than worth it. My father always taught me to use my adversity to help others, so I am doing so in honor of him.
