Goodreads asked Julie Cook:

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

Julie Cook My great-grandfather died working on Titanic and his wife was thrown into poverty. For years as I grew up I felt Titanic was associated only with the rich upper classes and felt angry and upset that the working class poor were not spoken about. I longed to write Emily my great-grandmother's story. Finally my children started school and found the time to research and write my book!
