Goodreads asked Renée Ebert:

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

Renée Ebert Many years ago living in Alexandria, VA, my husband and I were leaving the parking lot for the movie theater when a pretty and slim youngish woman approached us. True story: she offered to do "anything" for us, and left her remarks open. We thanked her, and left and both of us felt she needed money for drugs. Although Molly in the novel never got to that place, her journey began when I thought of that woman we met.
