Goodreads asked R.W. Nelson:

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

R.W. Nelson I was living in India (for 2 1/2 years) and I observed (and interacted with) 7 beggar children, all of whom had physical disabilities. Thus, all of the beggar children in my novel (in Biblical Jerusalem) are all based on real people.
