Goodreads asked Brandon Shire:

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

Brandon Shire My mother. She is in her 70s and still mourns for the loss of two unborn children (my sisters) she lost via miscarriage some 50 years ago.

I wanted to explore that topic but from a male perspective and quickly found that society dismisses a man's grief over a child lost through miscarriage as selfish and weak. He is expected to be the silent sufferer, and the supporter of his wife/girlfriend and no more.
