Goodreads asked Shirley Whitney:

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

Shirley Whitney Where is the missing candle? When our son was 1 year old I bought a candle for his birthday cake and put it in the cupboard until needed. I never found that candle until we moved out 7 years later! A simple mystery, I know!...BUT one that we all deal with every day. Where did I put that? What made sense at the time I put it away that doesn't make sense to me now? Who else in the house could have used/moved it? Does it have a life of its own?
