A Goodreads user asked Faith L. Potts:

Hello Faith, with excitement of your upcoming book, "Freedom," I wanted to ask you: what inspired you to write about the difficult subject of Veterans and Suicide? Do you come from a military family, or are you close to any military families? Thank you for being brave enough to shed more light on this subject. Blessings on your writing. ~Ella Rose

Faith L. Potts Hello, Ella!

Excellent question—and one I hear often. Honestly, I wasn't searching for a difficult topic to write, but veteran suicide fell into my lap. I started playing around with the idea of a suicidal vet and, while researching, realized what a massive problem it is these days. It's an area that doesn't get much attention, and one that I believe God called me to shine a light on.

While my grandpa and a few uncles (on both sides of the family) served in the military, I wouldn't consider us a military family. I am close to a few military families, however. ;)

Thanks for reaching out!
