Goodreads asked Manon Rinsma:

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

Manon Rinsma 13 years ago - the day my mother passed away, before she died, I started writing "A life without a mother - how would that be?" I was twelve years old and ever since, I felt the need of writing about my experience. So many times I felt misunderstood or kept out of the loop, while I was missing out on valuable time with my mother. By sharing my perspective, I hope to initiate tough conversations among others who are in the same predicament now as I was then. I wish I could remember the last words my mother said to me, but for someone else it might not be too late.
