About The Author
Shara is a writer and recovering extreme empath living in New England, successfully learning to divide her time between loved ones and herself.
At the start of her family’s bizarre journey through the mental health system, Shara embraced creative writing courses as a welcome escape. As the eldest child, also studying psychology and social work, she found a wealth of material to draw upon in each life experience and encounter with families in similar crises.
The idea to create stories that could validate and give hope to others submersed in continuous stress and trauma began to form over two decades ago. Masterclasses and her local writing group have played a critical part in Shara’s first book taking shape and reaching the stage of publication submission.
Shara has found that keeping a steady foundation of what you love & enjoy during times of turmoil is key to surviving in joy and maintaining balance. For her, living in an artistic way, not just writing, but dancing, creating (through photography, embroidery, paint, etc.), and volunteering in the museum community have been crucial. Also therapy, lots & lots of therapy. Humor doesn’t hurt either! She believes anyone struggling can and must find their ground to stand strong on if they are to take back their life and live well.
