Goodreads asked Victoria Foyt:

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

Victoria Foyt One day I was shocked to see the underlying similarities between my life and my mother’s. On the surface it seemed I had made progress not only in my career, but also my personal freedom in romance. And yet, as soon as I understood that, deep down, I had unknowingly repeated my mother’s emotional patterns, and even my grandmother’s, I was led to the idea for Valentine to Faith. In this novel our heroine Angel, a single mother, has told her daughter Faith a lie about the past in order to protect her from the pattern of loss and longing that has bedeviled their family. When Faith falls for an abusive man with strong beliefs, unknowingly repeating her mother’s mistakes, Angel must divulge her secrets and in the process, open her heart or risk losing the man she loves. Along the way, the Sea Goddess as well as the Victorian shell craft of Sailors’ Valentines bring healing for old wounds and hope for the future.
