Goodreads asked Beth Kanell:

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

Beth Kanell My dad, an immigrant, hid many things about his past and present from his family. Sometimes I touch on this, sideways, in my novels. Most often, though, you can find the housefire that my kids and I survived, hiding in most of my books!
