Goodreads asked Amanda Reynolds:

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

Amanda Reynolds Someone I know fell down their stairs and suffered short-term memory loss. Unlike Jo, they fortunately recovered quickly, but for a while they were a stranger in their own world and I thought how scary that must be. 'What if...?' questions started spinning around my head and I thought how awful it would be if, instead of your family helping you to recover those lost memories, they were instead doing everything they could to keep them from you. And why on earth would they want to do that?
