Goodreads asked Chanrithy Him:

How do you get inspired to write?

Chanrithy Him I have a natural storytelling ability and love telling stories since I was a little girl in Cambodia. War came to my life when I was only 3 during the U.S. and Viet Cong's invasions into Cambodia in the late 60s. A lot was taken away from me during the Khmer Rouge regime. As child survivor, International speaker and author, it's my mission to tell stories that is empowering, inspiring and educational to readers everywhere, especially to women and young girls.
