Can't believe it, I finally found the notes from the Mayhem panel called, "The Me You Don't See." They were right there in front of me.

Childhood:
Dana: Raised by a single mother on a boat. Decided not to marry or be a mom.
Donna: Raised in a small town where everyone knew her family--similar to what is in her books.

A few highlights of a fun panel.
