Goodreads asked Beth Troy:

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

Beth Troy The most direct inspiration for my novel, Lu, came from the relationships I had with my two grandmothers. I knew I wanted to write a story of a girl who wrestles with her plans for her life vs. what her family thinks is best for her. Stories about my grandmas have always made for great dinner-table conversation, and it was fun to ham them up even more for my fictional book.
