Goodreads asked Ariana Carruth:

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

Ariana Carruth Life. I never set out to write a book, but I had always loved writing. During a moment of darkness I began to write to find the light. I wrote, I cried, I wrote some more and then suddenly I had written a hundred pages. It then became something. I knew as hard as it was to keep writing that I had to finish what I started. It was necessary. Taking the plunge to actually share the book with others was an entirely different challenge, but in the end I hope our story can help others.
