Goodreads asked Rebecca Laffar-Smith:

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

Rebecca Laffar-Smith I can't really say there's much "mystery" in my real life but I do think I'd really love to share the story of my brother, Gaelon, in a book at some point in the future. My brother was born with Xeroderma Pigmentosum; which basically means his skin didn't produce the pigments that protect it from sun damage and so all exposure to the sun was deadly. He was diagnosed at 18 months of age and my family was told he wouldn't live beyond his fifth birthday. He lived to see 27 birthdays. His story is inspirational and has played a large role in shaping the person I became. I'd love to share that in a book someday.
