Goodreads asked Deborah Burrows:

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

Deborah Burrows I was reading articles from WW 2 in Trove, the wonderful National Library of Australia database of digitized newspapers. There was an article from 1941 about a 22 year old Australian female ambulance driver who was working throughout the Blitz. She received a medal for rescuing a family during an air raid. I thought she would be a great sort of character to write about. I always start with my characters.
