Goodreads asked Larissa Matharu:

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

Larissa Matharu This is a TRUE story, I was boarding a bus one Winter evening, when an old lady with white hair, sitting in the front of the bus, gestured to me: she shook her head side to side emphatically and held a finger out in front of her face and shook it sideways and mouthed NO; she was warning me NOT to board this bus!!! I got off the bus and waited fifteen minutes for the next one.

I have no idea what would have happened to me had I boarded that bus but she obviously saved my life. Was she really physically there on the bus, could other passengers see her, was she an angel, a ghost, a deceased relative in the after life, or me in the future, warning myself?

I will always ponder these questions, as she saved my life that day. I had never seen her before.
