Goodreads asked Sharon Orlopp:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sharon Orlopp Thuhang's story has several universal themes: hope, determination, and personal reinvention. She had to reinvent herself many times due to insurmountable obstacles---polio, war, death of her father, poverty, malnourishment, Communist economic programs, and immigration to the U.S.

Her story inspires me because most of us don't face repetitive challenging circumstances. Knowing how she kept a positive attitude and stared adversity straight in the face inspired me. Her message empowers all of us to conquer our challenges.
