Mary Page lives in Baytown, Texas. After facing numerous personal challenges, she met a young man from India on Facebook who shared the tragedy of his brother's death at a young age. The author had lost a daughter at birth. "We talked about when someone dies it is the realization of what they they miss in life afterwards. We thought about the people they do not meet, the stories they miss, and the events they never participate in. India has a different way of looking at things that helped me sort through my issues." She is writing the sequel.
