Goodreads asked Mary Connealy:

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

Mary Connealy I've visited the area where my book is set, northern New Mexico, near some ancient (and some still existing) villages on top of mesas. And I've enjoyed the myth and mystery around the mesa, and I knew the land and how much it seemed like stark desert, but was in fact great cattle country. I wanted to set a book there. And I wanted a family saga. A family with deep roots that were powerful, and yet the family was being challenged and these strong and diverse personalities needed to work together.
