Goodreads asked E.J. Russell:

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

E.J. Russell My biological great-grandmother was forced to marry the hired man at her father's farm after she became pregnant by a traveling salesman. After her accidental death, my grandfather (who was the child of the hired man, and a baby at the time) was adopted by the pastor of the town church. His biological father moved to another state and had a new family--so somewhere out there, I have a raft of previously unknown relatives. Who are they? How many are there? Were their lives better or worse than the one my grandfather knew?
