Goodreads asked Tammy Lockamy:

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

Tammy Lockamy I had a rather vivid dream when I was seventeen years old that is essentially the main scene on the docks with little Mary becoming lost. In some respects when I awoke from my dream, I felt that perhaps I was viewing myself in another lifetime. As time went on, it was as if I carried little Mary with me in my everyday life, and soon more of her came to light from subsequent dreams.
I wrote 'Where Are You Mary?' literally in sixty days! It was as if I knew her story, so needed no time to pause and think about what I would write next. It simply came to me as if I had seen it all before. Deja vu?
