Goodreads asked Marcy McCreary:

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

Marcy McCreary My great grandmother and great grandfather both worked at the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory and supposedly eloped to get married on March 25, 1911--the day of the fire. We have an oral history, based on stories my great grandmother has told us, but no documentation to prove this. We do know she was pregnant at the time, as my grandmother was born in early November 1911, just 8 months after the fire. We know for a fact that they worked there, but whether or not they eloped on that day remains a mystery.
