I think any kind of creative nonfiction or memoir writing produces struggles. In this one, I had to balance what I heard from my family about these three men with what I came to know about them and what I might speculate about them.

I love to write about places I visit – traveling is my muse – and I wanted to share the adventure my husband and I undertook. I thought that perhaps it might propel others to embark on their own journey, or to simply enjoy ours from an overstuffed chair.

As such, writing these stories felt at times incredibly tender and poignant, and at other times incredibly raw, and exposing. This is why I believe that contributors showed so much courage in participating in this project.
