I\'d wondered about my mother all my life -- what she looked like, how she smelled and sounded and acted.
I wondered whether any of them had ever do.
I\'d no idea whether they were loud or soft-spoken, funny or boring, preferred chocolate to vanilla, if they liked movies over books or the other way around.
Lately this wondering had grown to encompass a curiosity about the kind of people she herself came from, because they were my family, too, after all, even though I knew nothing about them.
