Diana G asked Catherine Ryan Hyde:

I Love the humanistic touch you put into your books. Where do you get your ideas? Do you have themes ahead?

Catherine Ryan Hyde I'm definitely a student of human nature, but otherwise I have no idea where these stories come from. I'm as perplexed as you are. I come up with one idea at a time, and I start with the characters and what they're up against. The theme kind of reveals itself as I go. I hope that's what you wanted to know. Thanks!
