Goodreads asked Christina Baker Kline:

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

Christina Baker Kline I'm writing a novel now based on a family story: my mother's great-great aunts, two sisters, married two brothers in Civil War-era North Carolina who happened to be Asian. They had a total of 21 children. How did that happen in such a segregated time and place? This is the mystery that interests me at the moment.
