Goodreads asked Caitlynn Carson:

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

Caitlynn Carson My memoir started as an idea to share my story with my kids and nothing more. I just wanted them to know that I am more than just their boring mom. My mom's life was always full of secrets and my grandmother died before I ever got to know her history: turns out, we were a lot alike. Eventually it turned into a repeated message from God to use my experiences for more than just my children, but to help anyone who might need to hear that they're not alone in this walk. The Lord hammered it into my heart by showing me the same verses and message over and over until I finally spoke aloud and said "Lord, I hear you". Then I had this idea to add in more stories than just my own. Since then I worked on my story in-between the life of being a mother, wife, full-time student and working part-time. After 2 years and 2 months, I finally published.
