Goodreads asked Rebecca Andrew:

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

Rebecca Andrew My most recent release, Hope's History, was inspired a while ago.
I actually started this before Book 1, well before. But I just couldn't finish it.
As I raised my daughter as a single mother for the first years of her life, I wanted to write a character that had a young child too.
I also was inspired by my boyfriend.
He is Jamaican and I had noticed there weren't many interracial couples in the romances I read before. I wanted to change that.
There are a few conversations and lines in my third book with Patois incorporated into it, not too much just enough for the characters development.
Patois is a beautiful language and I am captivated whenever he speaks it. I wanted it to sound natural, which I think I have managed quite well.
