Goodreads asked Cat Treadgold:

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

Cat Treadgold This novel began as a dream that combined two news stories. In the first, forest rangers came upon a primitive tree house in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie Forest that had existed undetected for decades, though in this instance it housed a child pornographer. In the second, a woman mourning her dead husband wandered into the Olympic National Park with her dog to scatter her husband’s ashes and lost her way, both surviving on bugs and plants until they were found. My dream had me lost in the forest and finding a cabin with a gorgeous, silent man. I didn’t want it to end.
