Goodreads asked Marisa Labozzetta:

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

Marisa Labozzetta I became fascinated with the amount of time of our daily lives is spent dealing with loss: from locating keys and cell phones to coping with the losses that leave gaping holes in our lives. Of course the ultimate loss for us all, is our own life. That said, this is also a story about love--the all-time healer of wounds, that which gives us strength to carry on. And lastly, I have always been intrigued with the supernatural. And so I wrote a collection of linked short stories about how 5 female cousins in a tight-knit Italian American family cope with different aspects of loss, love, and the supernatural in their intertwining lives.
