In the shadows of The Great Depression in north Florida, a young girl sets off on a journey with her baby sister strapped to her back. Along the way, Lily Rose learns to trust and to love. Dark family secrets threaten to catch up to her and shatter the happiness she yearns for. In this uplifting coming of age story, things are not always what they seem. Must she choose between a life of security or a life of passion?

Sarah publishes the third and final book in her “A Bend in the Straight and Narrow” trilogy.

By writing the third and last book of this trilogy, I am saying goodbye to my characters — some I have come to love and some not so much. I have become Sally and Sarah and been aggravated with the men in their lives — and some women, too. I have mentally trudged down roads with them, tired and dusty and hungry. A female reader once told me, “Every woman needs a Lani in their life.” Ain’t it so!

At the time I started writing, I was surprised at how the stories developed. Characters did things that amazed me. The books have been well-received, which is very rewarding.

This trilogy is my gift to the people who have gone before me, and to my grandmother especially.  The time we spent together is priceless. Her stories will live on and she will not be forgotten. What better legacy could I leave?

I’m going down a different road now, writing purely fictional characters rather than based on family narrative. I am pretty certain I will love the main characters in the new story. In 1926, a young girl in north Florida realizes that her mother intends to sell her baby sister when the father deserts them. What will she do? Stay tuned.  

All books in the series are available on Amazon.
