Goodreads asked Sharon Guskin:

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

Sharon Guskin Not long after my children were born, a relative told me about OLD SOULS, a book about Dr. Ian Stevenson at the University of Virginia and his many cases of very young children who seemed to remember specific details from previous lifetimes. They often had strong emotional attachments to these people they'd never met. These cases blew my mind, and I started to think, why are our children the way they are -- with their very particular fears and desires? What if one of my sons longed for a different mother? All of this percolated in my mind for a while, and eventually this story came to me of a skeptical single mom whose son longed for his "other" mother, and the journey she undertakes in order to help him. So that's how THE FORGETTING TIME began....I hope you enjoy it!
