Goodreads asked Joseph R. Goodall:

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

Joseph R. Goodall My grandad and his siblings wrote a book about their experience of growing up on a farm in Waikato, New Zealand, and eventually each leaving and finding their own path in life. While in a writing class, I was given an assignment to write about unresolved conflict between two characters. What emerged was a scene depicting fictionalized versions of my great-grandparents, being faced with the reality of having to sell their farm at the end of their lives.
