Too private

I listened to this because, having read the book, I wanted to know more about the author, especially her religious and ethnic background. She says she's a very private person and, in that vein, dances all around her own background. She alludes to her Polish grandparents and that her family is not Catholic, but studiously avoids disclosing what they were. This is disappointing. What does she have to fear?
