Goodreads asked Audrey Kalman:

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

Audrey Kalman The idea for "What Remains Unsaid" arose from a chance encounter I had at a Lake Tahoe resort about eight years ago. I met a woman who, like me, was passing the time in the lodge while her son was snowboarding. She seemed quite ordinary. But the story* she told me over the course of the morning was anything but ordinary. It gave me the idea to explore, through fiction, what we choose to hide or reveal and how the stories we tell shape what others believe about us—and what we believe about ourselves.
