Goodreads asked Brenda Vicars:

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

Brenda Vicars For a few years, I worked closely with students who had been removed from school for disciplinary reasons, and with each and every student, I lay awake at night worrying whether the case against him or her was valid. My greatest fear was that someone would be punished for something he or she didn't do. As far as I know, none of my students were unjustly disciplined, but POLARITY IN MOTION grew out of that fear.

And there's a thematic idea that seems to creep into everything I write--that ongoing philosophical question: What is going on in my immediate world that I'm not aware of? I love those moments of epiphany when you suddenly recognize some truth that was there all along. But, as great as an epiphany is, that golden moment also alarms me: What else is going on that I'm not seeing?
