Goodreads asked C. Yvette Spencer:

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

C. Yvette Spencer I've always been fascinated with slavery stories and have seen and read many, but none addressed the dilemma of a slave whose skin color represented the children born by sexual assaults. In the Passer, the character Jesse tells about his life as a slave that looks white, but his story has a unique twist that makes it quite different from a normal slave story.
