Dear Lisa See, I want to start by letting you know how much I appreciate your work! You are one of the best writers Earth has ever gained, and I am extremely grateful that I have the honor and the chance to live in the same period as you. This gives me the chance to get answers to my questions right from you, isn't that amazing? I want to ask you, how do you find inspiration for your novels?

Hi, Ariana,
I have a half-sister named Ariana!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words about my writing. You've made me very happy today.
I don't have a simple answer to your question, because each book comes with its own inspiration. I usually write about that in the Acknowledgments at the end of each book. That way you can see how a particular book came to be.

Lisa, I would like to thank you for such a wonderful story. As an adoptee who reunited with birth parents, I really appreciate how well you provided insight into each characters challenges and overall angst with an almost indescribably emotional and entrenching event. While all your books are wonderful, this one is truly special to me. I don't have a question, just a Thank You. :) ?
