Nancy Kommer asked Martha Hall Kelly:

I just finished Lost Roses 🌹 and had previously read Lilac Girls. Both books had me devouring them so that I went back & read them a little more leisurely the second time so I could appreciate the things surrounding each character that impacted their lives. Can’t wait for the next book. Why did you write the 3 books in this order ?

Martha Hall Kelly Hi Nancy! I'm so glad you are enjoying the books. When I wrote Lilac Girls I found out so much great backstory about Caroline's mother and great grandmother, I pitched Random House on two prequels. Glad they liked the idea!
