SAMPLE EXCERPT:
“What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”
Little Bee is an amazing read that captures the heart of the reader. Although the book itself is not based 100% on a true story, there are some parts that are said to have been inspired by a true story and the author’s personal experience.
The book is based on the true story of Manuel Bravo from Angola. In 2001, he fled to England and asked to be granted an asylum as he and his family had been prosecuted in Nigeria for political reasons, and if they returned, they would be killed. Thus, it was a matter of life and death, literally. It took Britain four years to come to a decision, and in 2005, Manuel Bravo and his son were arrested and put into an Immigration Removal Center. There, they found out that they would be deported to Angola the next morning. Overnight, Manuel Bravo made a brave decision—he decided to hang himself in a stairwell. When his son woke up the next morning, he faced that awful sight...

Bibliography
Foreword
A personal note from the editor…
What if…?
was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.
When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I'm laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.
One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.
This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.
So without further ado, I present to you…
