Goodreads asked Kimberly Rouse:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kimberly Rouse I have wanted to write the story of my life from the age of 13. I started this book many times from age 13 to age 46. In 2016, at 46 years old, I went through a very dark time emotionally and started seeing a counsellor. He had a book on his shelf called "Life Beyond Trauma", I think. This book gave me practical advice on how to overcome writing the hard parts of my story. By just simply going outside and letting the sun hit my face and intentionally reminding myself that I was safe, I was able to go in and write again. I finished the final draft and got it sent to by publicist the day before my 48th birthday.
