Goodreads asked Aften Brook Szymanski:

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

Aften Brook Szymanski My great grandmother was an orphan and never spoke of her past. Very mysterious.
Her husband was also an orphan and when they married he left the family after they had kids—my great grandma never spoke I’ll of him but also never allowed questions. When she died we found a box of letters she and my great grandad had written to each other over all the years they were apart. Love letters. It was very bizarre. Also very sweet. And something the kids were entirely conflicted about.
