My work
Writing

The Same Moon — published in 2020 by Camphor Press — is my memoir of running far, far away — to Japan — to find my way home. You also can find some of my essays here and blog here.

The image from the cover of my memoir offers a quiet message of unity:
The same moon shines over us all.
Now available on shirts, bags, greeting cards and more.
What people are saying

As a gift to myself in 2021 I signed up for Memoir Moments with Sarah. With her winsome, encouraging and expert way, Sarah helped unlock my inner storyteller through these 4 short weeks. Now my children get to know me in fresh and unique ways through these moments. Double blessing!
