There are no true events upon which 'The Lovely Bones' is based. Author Alice Sebold [b. September 6, 1963] doesn't identify the novel as anything other than a work of fiction. But there may be a loose parallel of some of the events to events in the novelist's life.

The parallel between the novelist's book and the novelist's life lies in their both dealing with healing from a rape case. As a student, the writer was raped. The perpetrator was unknown to her. So the chances of being able to identify him and get him charged and sentenced seemed very slight. Ultimately, she recognized him later, and in another place. So the rapist was identified, arrested, charged, brought to trial, and sentenced.
