Goodreads asked Robert Egby:

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

Robert Egby I enjoy writing heavy duty historical novels, but after four I decided to write a short story about two young lovers in the mid-1930s. America is climbing out of the Depression. Roosevelt is touting his New Deal. The young lovers create a beautiful future together -- then slap bang. Everything turns turtle. Rose gets lost in Spain where there's a bloody civil war raging and young Frank goes searching for his love and takes on the deadliest of jobs -- ambulance driver. I had to be dreaming this could be a short story!! 80,000 words. I could have made it 100,000. FOR THE LOVE OF ROSE: A Journey in Three Worlds.
