Goodreads asked Ethan Joella:

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

Ethan Joella I started A QUIET LIFE because one morning I heard a man on the
boardwalk say he was making his first trip to Florida without
his wife who had died, and I couldn’t stop thinking about him. From that moment, I thought of Chuck Ayers in winter, walking around his house holding his wife Cat's favorite towel, which is where the novel begins.
