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

The *re…moreThere are many small mysteries--lost objects never found, for example--that wouldn't be more than an incidental complication in a larger book. The *real* mysteries are always people.

My mother, for example, had a friend, let's call her Susan, ever since they were both children in middle school. Both grew up, married, had children. And even through various moves, they kept in touch. Years passed, and they both found themselves living in Florida.

One day, my mom called Susan to see if they might get together, and Susan told my mom that she didn't want to see her, and never to call her again. My mom had absolutely no idea what might have happened.

Time passed, and my mom was truly troubled by this event. She didn't want to lose Susan as a friend. I encouraged her to call Susan and ask what the problem was. This, my mother did.

Susan answered the phone, and when she understood it was my mother calling, she grew very cold. "What do you want?"

Mom explained that she valued Susan's friendship, and if she'd done anything to offend her, she wanted to make it right.

"Do you really mean to tell me that you don't know what you did?" Susan asked.

"Honestly, I have no idea."

"Then I am certainly not going to tell you." And Susan hung up on her. That was the last conversation they ever had.

They are all dead now, my mom and Susan and their respective husbands, so I guess I'll never know. But this is something rich and deep and painful enough to weave into a good, complicated, and ultimately redemptive book.(less)
