Goodreads asked A. Robert Allen:

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

A. Robert Allen This was the exact question that prompted my genealogical research as well as my first novel of historical fiction, Failed Moments. I grew up with a mysterious background in terms of ethnicity. My research, which included DNA testing, uncovered roots that were White, Black, Irish, Caribbean, Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. Solving this personal mystery became the inspiration for my first book, which is a fictional account of my ancestors.
