Goodreads asked Laurie L.C. Lewis:

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

Laurie L.C. Lewis What a great question! I've used several personal events and mysteries so far, and I'm always examining my life and the lives of my family for more good leads. My daughter needed a kidney transplant in her twenties. We've wanted to tell that personal story with all the ups and downs, the tears, and prayers, to help other families see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My mother told me a story about a copper coil she found in her mother's hope chest. The story behind it has a crazy "twist." (Couldn't help myself.)

My son's family went to Belize and while there, his son needed an emergency appendectomy. The hospital was in a remote community, and my mind goes all kinds of places with that scenario. What if seemingly affluent American parents found out that their son had been kidnapped from the recovery area?

Crazy ideas! Thanks for the question!
