Before Sarah Styf turned eighteen, she was moved across the country four times, living in five states in four different time zones before she left her parents' home in Michigan for four years of college in Nebraska. As an adult, she and her husband started their family in Indiana, then chose to spend six years in Southeast Texas, before a significant life-changing event sent them back to the Midwest. There have been two constants throughout Sarah's life: faith and change. One of the ways she coped with change over the years was writing. After nearly a decade of blogging, Sarah noticed a common theme throughout her writing: life is a series of unexpected events, a blind journey through the challenges of being a human, raising children, maintaining a career, and getting older. In her first book, she processes her own journey of leaning into the unexpected and learning how to build a home when everything blows up in your face.Voir livre
In 2009 Cristina Nehring's brilliant first book, A Vindication of Love, was featured on the cover of the New York Times Book Review. An important new voice had appeared in American letters. Just as suddenly, Nehring seemed to disappear—only to reemerge like a bolt from the blue. "Now unexpectedly, writes California poet laureate Dana Gioia, "from Paris comes a heartbreaking and tender memoir, The Child Who Never Spoke, that explains her years of silence. These 'lessons in fragility' tell of Nehring's unexpected pregnancy and birth of a 'special child,' a baby girl with Down syndrome in its most extreme form. Forthright, profound, and passionate, this new book is also a vindication of love. Although it tells a story full of sorrow, The Child Who Never Spoke is a not a sad book but a profound and joyous testament to the love between a mother and daughter."Voir livre
