Hi Ruta, I have been very intrigued by the way you wrote your stories. I wonder what was your inspiration in writing your holocaust stories?
Ruta Sepetys
Hello Mikaela!
The inspiration for writing themes of suffering and hardship is that there are many people who believe the world has forgotten them or their story. Through my novels, I want to give voice to those who no longer have a chance to tell their story.

Hi Ruta, I don't have a question for you, but I wanted to tell you how much I loved both of your books! I have shared them with many of my friends who had never read your books and they always come back to me and tell me how much they enjoyed them, too. You are one of my new favorite authors. :-) I eagerly await your next novel. What is the expected date for the next one? Kate

I have also to find that you are planning on publishing another WWII story can you give us any hints on the story line? As well as this, being an avid reader I very much hope that you would strongly consider making a sequel to out with the easy. It's left me with so many "what-if's" and "I-wonder's". I would also like to say that, Between Shades of Gray is my all time favorite book Thank you for that!!:)
