What Inspired You?

Question:

What really inspired you to start writing the alice books? I’ve just been really curious about that.>.<

Phyllis replied:

I thought about how much I loved my mother when I was growing up, but I didn’t exactly want to be like her. Like most of us, I think we look at other women and think, “I’d like to laugh like her,” or “I’d like to walk like her,” and that’s what was going on with Alice.
