Goodreads asked Mim Eichmann:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mim Eichmann For close to two decades I had been reading late 19th Century women's diaries, journals, short stories and novels and was also fascinated with that time period in our nation's history in terms of our vast political, economic and cultural shifts. The actual synopsis for "A Sparrow Alone" gradually evolved out of that reading; in many ways I felt that the characters, both fictional and historic, had been living within me for years before finally "demanding" that I put their story down way on paper.
