Goodreads asked Leah Lindeman:

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

Leah Lindeman I was camping with my family and some close friends about eight or nine years ago. Either my father or a friend in our group mentioned reading about the Halifax Explosion. The more I heard about it, the more I thought "Someone should make a movie about this. This could be epic!" Ever since then, the idea festered within my mind, not wanting to leave. So I decided to tell an untold story of a woman who lost everything, a woman who needed redemption, a city that needed rebuilding.
