Kate Plunket asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hi Ruta! I'm Kate I'm a student at central magnet school you spoke their a while ago. I really enjoyed it, but I didn't get to ask you a question: How did it feel finding out that one of the books you put time, energy, and money into would become a movie?

Ruta Sepetys Hi Kate,

I loved visiting your school! Glad you were able to ask your question here. :)

Learning that the book was confirmed to be made into a movie was truly a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself! I'm excited, but not because I wrote the book. I'm excited because many people who were deported to Siberia felt that the world had forgotten them. The movie will bring the story to a much larger audience and I'm so grateful for that.
