Sarah is the author of The Sirens of Soleil City, a novel inspired by the lives of her mother's two mothers - the mother who was married six times and in and out of her life, and her stepmother, who acted as the more traditional maternal presence. Adversaries for decades, they found themselves living just a few miles from each other in West Palm Beach at the end of their lives. The uneasy friendship that developed between them became the jumping off point for Sarah's debut novel. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with her family.
