What I read is that the author Alice Sebald used some events in her life as an inspiration to write the Lovely Bones . When she was was a freshman in college she was raped and it led her to a life transformation. She learned that her rapist had killed a victim before her. Days after her rape she saw her rapist on the street. She then reported him to the police and he was arrested, she testified against him and he was convicted and received the maximum sentance. The book and the movie have some of these themes but not all.
