Goodreads asked Sarah C. Patten:

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

Sarah C. Patten About ten years ago, I became interested in female spy stories from WWII. After all, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and these stories were incredible, filled with bravery, love, betrayal, revenge. But what I loved most about these women were how unexpected and heroic their lives were. They were couriers, farm girls from Iowa, Polish orphans, etc.. They all found their way into the Resistance through the most unexpected and unlikely paths. So about five years ago, I decided to write my own female spy story called THE MEASURE OF GOLD.
