Goodreads asked Julie Kusma:

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

Julie Kusma Great question. My answer? Who my paternal grandfather's father was. My grandfather, born Dec 31, 1900, was adopted by his grandmother and thus our sir name is in fact the maiden name, and although it appeared to all that this man who fathered him was unknown, he knew. His mother had told him and he kept the secret his whole life, save for one he trusted. My grandmother knew too but she took the name to her grave. We have no idea who this man is or why it remains such a secret.
