Francine Falk-Allen's journey of discovery began with her Aunt Dorothy's offhand remark about an orphanage, leading her to uncover shocking family secrets that inspired her book, A Wolff in the Family.
Falk-Allen reveals that her grandmother Naomi endured a lonely life, caring for many children while her husband, Frank, was often absent and had affairs, which ultimately destroyed their family.
After Naomi's discovery of Frank's infidelity and love for another man, he instigated a court decision that stripped her of custody and eventually placed her youngest children in an orphanage.
While A Wolff in the Family is historical fiction, the author emphasizes that the narrative is constructed from true family fragments, making the story deeply personal and resonant.
