Goodreads asked R.T. Graham:

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

R.T. Graham I live in a tiny mountain community so Bishop is familiar to me, even though it's a fictional town. The characters for "Missing Elizabeth" have lived in my mind for years, they're like family to me - a couple of them are based on actual friends. I started writing a book about Bishop, and soon realized I could combine that with my story of Elizabeth so instead of two, they became one book together. I love the interaction between the various characters; so similar yet so diverse. And I hope I painted Elizabeth's emotional struggle to survive as inspiring as I intended to.
