A Goodreads user asked Ella Burakowski:

Is it harder to write fiction or "true" life stories?

Ella Burakowski Hidden Gold is a combination of both. It's called narrative non-fiction. All the events and facts are true, however, the emotion, scene settings, touch, feel, smell are all fiction. Together they make a compelling read. Truman Capote wrote in this genre when he did In Cold Blood. It makes for a compelling read, rather than a history lesson.
