Paige asked Ruta Sepetys:

What gave you the idea to write Out of the Easy?

Ruta Sepetys Hi Paige! Thank you for your question! "Out of the Easy" has parallels to my mother's personal history. I wanted to explore feminism in historical context through a girl in postwar America, a girl who dreamed of being the author of her own destiny.
