Goodreads asked Susan Corbett:

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

Susan Corbett I was on a long drive and started thinking about what I would write next and the ideas just flooded in. I got really excited about using old friends from high school as role models for characters. I find unsolved historical events compelling and write about the universal issue/injustice they often bring up (in my first book, the unsolved killing of young women in Ciudad Juarez in the 90's) I have also spent a lot of time in Mexico and wanted to write about its culture, people, and place.
