Goodreads asked Karin Esterhammer:

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

Karin Esterhammer While living in Vietnam, I was writing emails to my family because I was so enchanted with the country and its people. I saved all the emails and several people said to turn them into a book.
I wrote a travel article for the Los Angeles Times and a literary agent saw it and also recommended I write a book.
