Everyone has a past, so the book usually starts with the characters past, and what happens in the intervening years is up to the imagination of the author to find a satisfactory conclusion. It’s best to get deep into the book right from the start which will offer the reader intrigue as to how the rest of the story will pan out. Most books are based on actual events, however if writing a biography stick to it as such in first person.
Trying to fictionalise a true story never works for facts get in the way of fiction. You might find yourself saying,’Jane would never do or say that! Work on plot, pacing and suspense.
