Jodell asked Bryn Greenwood:

how did you get the idea for this book?

Bryn Greenwood In the way I get all my story ideas: I saw some random thing that gave me a spark. In the case of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things, I saw a man riding a motorcycle down a dirt road beside a hay field. As I tried to imagine where he was going, I imagined a little girl in the hay field, too. She was hiding from someone, but not the man on the bike. Of course they would meet, and from there I had to figure out who they were and what their relationship was.
