Goodreads asked Lorie Adair:

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

Lorie Adair I had a series of dreams that indicated I would move from my home-state of New Hampshire to live and teach on the Navajo reservation in the Four Corners region (Red Mesa). Within months, I had a lucid dream of a Navajo weaver on the top of what is called Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly. It was very intense and when I awoke, I began writing about her life. I could hear her voice distinctly throughout every draft, revision and phase of the story. I feel honored that Noni Lee chose me to witness and hear her life's story.
