Kathryn asked Emily Shore:

What was your inspiration for The Sacrifice?

Emily Shore Honestly, it was the myth of Cupid and Psyche, but I wove much of my own trauma into the book without even realizing I had. It was only after reviewers started responding to it and telling me how they walked Quintessa's journey and felt her arc of going from a numb shell of a gray girl to being an empowered and strong woman that I processed how I'd written so much of myself into the book. And my healing journey.
