The story behind my topic choice

Ever since I was a little girl my mama always read romance novels whenever she had free time. She could sit down for hours on end and just read. One day I picked up one of her books and began to read. I couldn't put the book down and before I knew it i was reading them all the time. For the first time really enjoyed reading. From that moment on I always read romance novels. I would really like to learn where they came from and what inspired them.
