Anna asked Courtney Summers:

Hi Courtney! My daughter was intrigued by what I was reading, and she's reading parts of your book now--what she wants to know is how long it took you to write this, and what inspired you? She's aware of all the types of crimes against children, and was really gobsmacked at how you wrote it in different points of view. She thinks you're awesome!

Courtney Summers Please thank your daughter for me! I'm so glad she picked up and was enthralled by Sadie and its multiple perspectives. :) It took me a couple of years to write Sadie, and it was inspired by the way we consume acts of violence against women and girls as a form of entertainment. I hope that answers her questions & my thanks to her again!
