Goodreads asked Keitha Smith:

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

Keitha Smith For The Worth of Water I got the idea for my premise from real life. My daughter has a boyfriend of long-standing (a lovely young man). As I’ve got to know him it occurred to me that there’s something quite interesting about the process that happens when someone raised with different values starts to play a role in your life and in the life of someone you hold dear. This led me to think about the whole subject of values and the ways in which they influence our lives on all sorts of levels. The basis of the story involves two families with completely different values and explores what happens when they come together. I should point out here that outside of the germ of inspiration, my story in no way reflects our own situation ☺
