Goodreads asked Vicky Adin:

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

Vicky Adin Some time ago, I took my grandchildren to a shop near where I live in Auckland, New Zealand, that still makes lollies the old-fashioned way, by hand. I was fascinated by the whole process and surprised at how easy the sugar boiler made it look. I'm sure I would have burnt myself or at least cut myself. I remembered my great-grandmother was a sugar boiler and
realised I had the inkling of a story. I have stored it up until now to write it.
