Goodreads asked Tracey Warr:

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

Tracey Warr My great grandfather was a coachman at a grand mansion owned by the makers of Huntley and Palmers Biscuits and my great grandmother was a maid in the house. My great grandfather abandoned his post and wife who was evicted from their cottage and had to go into the workhouse with her ten children, including my grandmother. My grandmother wanted to know who her father was, why he abandoned them and what happened to him. I think he may have been a gambler and a draft dodger but I would need to do more research.
