Goodreads asked Cynthia Sharp:

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

Cynthia Sharp When I had my DNA tested it came back half Irish/Scottish and one percent French, which I knew. I knew about my Irish, Scottish and tiny bit of French ancestry, but had been curious about my grandfather's ancestry, since his father was adopted and we'd always had to guess what his ancestry may have been. My DNA results came back fifty percent unknown. It was like a Zen moment. How could I be unknown? I gave the story to the main character Marcie in my fantasy series, who is aching to know the truth about where she comes from and her own ancestry. Everyone else in her science class gets accurate results and she awkwardly hides her result of unknown. It becomes a catalyst to learn her true story.
