Goodreads asked Wiss Auguste:

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

Wiss Auguste The idea originated from a conversation I had with a good friend of mine. She had dealt with some personal issues in the past and she wanted me to write a poem about her issues. I started writing the poem and it didn’t feel right. I felt limited. When I showed her the poem, I told her ‘I could write an entire book about these issues.” She said ‘well, do it then”. Two years and a half later, The Illusions Of Hope was published
