Goodreads asked Tom Glenn:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Tom Glenn The mystery of how my mother died. She was fatally ill with lung cancer. Despite wanting to comfort her, I couldn't bring myself to do it. She was an alcoholic much of her life and a very poor mother—I was left to raise myself on my own. Her brother was her doctor. I could see that she was hurt by my inability to respond to her, but I couldn't help it. She died suddenly the night after our last meeting. I've always wondered if her brother offered her a lethal potion to end her emotional and physical suffering.
