The shapes and rhythms of words have fascinated me since my early days in school. I’ve loved words and books for as long as I can remember. “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” Charles W. Eliot

Sharon is a freelance author whose work has appeared in more than 34 national publications for adults and children. Her writing also finds expression in a new line of inspirational greeting cards, poems and gifts, launched in 2005 under the Garden Path Inspirations logo. http://www.gardenpathinspirations.com

A wife, mother of three grown daughters and grandmother of three adorable grandchildren, Sharon is an avid reader and gardener. When I’m stuck on the plot for my story, working in my flower gardens stirs creativity. Quiet moments spent beholding the beauty of God’s creation refresh the soul, and energize the mind.

Sharon and her youngest daughter have co-authored a book for parents and teens. “Cut The Strings” is the true story of a mother who experienced the agony of watching her daughter walk away from everything right and good, ending up in a life of degradation and shame while each of them lived in their own reality.

It is also the story of a daughter’s desperate search for a life of fulfillment and acceptance who found herself instead chained in a prison of emptiness, addictions and despair.

Best of all, it is a story about GOD, the one who relentlessly pursued a willful young woman, protected her life, and sustained a family through it all.

We feel this book will be an encouragement to Christian parents who are praying for their prodigal children, and hope that it will be a story parents and teens can read together and discuss. With the increasing numbers of young people leaving our churches in search of what they are convinced is a more exciting life, Christian parents are left hurting and guilt-ridden over their prodigal children. My heart breaks as time and time again moms and dads share with us through their tears the stories of their wayward sons and daughters. At present we are asking God to direct us to a publisher.

Sharon is also working on a book of poetry and a devotional book. Her passion is to reach a lost world with the Good News of the Gospel through her writing, and to faithfully use her God-given abilities and giftings for His honour and glory.
