Goodreads asked Rachel V. Knox:

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

Rachel V. Knox The mystery of my Chinese grandfather. The family tells two different stories. The romantic version is that he left China because he was anti-communist and his life was in danger. The ordinary version is that he left for a better life. Either way, it's a big thing to leave your homeland, and he suffered poverty and racism in the UK before eventually doing well as the manager and eventually owner of Maxim's restaurant in London.
