Goodreads asked Paul Cumbo:

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

Paul Cumbo Twenty years of teaching and coaching teenage guys...especially the last seven of those years, during which I've also been a father. I've developed a new appreciation for how hard life can be for each person, in his or her own way. I've seen some kids go through really, really tough struggles...I mean really dark places...and claw their way out to emerge stronger. That's where Mike Whittaker came from, and you can read his story in Wilderness Therapy.
