Goodreads asked Wanda Adams Fischer:

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

Wanda Adams Fischer I have been a baseball fan since I was not quite eight years old. At one time, about eight years ago, I sang the National Anthem at a minor league baseball park in my area. As I was walking out onto the field, I saw these young faces in the home dugout, and I thought, "Wow, it must be hard for those young guys to be far away from home, without their parents and friends," to try to compete to make it to the next level of baseball." These are guys who had been stars in their respective home towns, and most of them won't ever make it to Major League Baseball. That's what planted the first seed.
