Goodreads asked Marcia Meier:

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

Marcia Meier The tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012 moved me to write about mass shootings, mental illness and gun restrictions. I have a brother with schizophrenia, and I have written about mental illness for many years. The Newtown shootings spurred me to tackle a topic that, sadly, seems to divide and confound otherwise reasonable people.
