Goodreads asked Susan Buffum:

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

Susan Buffum The death of my maternal great-grandfather bears some investigation. He was French Canadian, worked in a mill in a tiny rural mill village, and played on the town's baseball team around the turn of the 20th century. I have a group photograph of the team with him standing in the back row hanging on my living room wall, and his wedding photo with my great-grandmother hanging on the opposite wall. He was a handsome man with expressive large blue eyes and a mop of curly dark hair. He died in his thirties. No one in my family talked much about him, even though my maternal great-grandmother, another French Canadian with the family trait of precognition, lived with us when she was elderly in an "in-law" apartment attached to my family's home. She had remarried and buried that husband also by the time she moved in with us. I'd like to investigate his death and find some answers.
