Goodreads asked Michaela Riley Karr:

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

Michaela Riley Karr This is a really cool question because, in a way, it's already happened! My mother was adopted back in the 60s, and she never knew the identities of her biological mother and father. This mystery inspired me to help her search using new online resources such as Ancestry that didn't exist when she first started searching in the 80s. This topic is the subject of my book, The Desire to Know! It details both my mother's search and my own for her biological parents, as well as the outcome of that search.
