Goodreads asked Michelle L. Hamilton:

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

Michelle L. Hamilton The idea for my book, "I Would Still Be Drowned in Tears": Spiritualism in Abraham Lincoln's White House, came out of a paper I had to write in my first semester in grad school. I found the topic so fascinating that I turned the paper into my master's thesis.
