Autorenporträt
Sarah, daughter of a diplomat, grew up in Germany, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Holland, and the USSR, graduating from high school in West Berlin. After attending the College of William & Mary in Virginia, she moved to Turkey for three years, returning to the U.S.A. to attend the Radcliffe Publishing Procedures course. After stints at National Geographic and Smithsonian Magazine she began moving again-this time with her diplomat husband. She has written and edited for expat publications, been a personal trainer, and volunteered while living and raising her three children in Jamaica, Turkey, Greece, Switzerland, Thailand, and Italy. This is her debut novel, inspired by her experiences in West Berlin.
