Sarah's dream was to live in a beautiful valley with a slow moving river running through it. This was a big dream for a young girl who, along with her brother Frank, were orphaned early in life. Their parents died with the wagon train on the way to California in the early 1800's. Sarah and Frank were the only survivors. How would two children survive the highway men, the raging grassfires, the cold winters and the heartache? This is their life story as told through the eyes of an old Indian man named Winnipesaukee. I wrote Sarah's Valley simply for the pleasure of writing. I submitted it to one publisher but when it was rejected, I stopped thinking about it and concentrated on my cozy mysteries. When I mentioned to my husband that I was going to delete it from my computer, he said he wanted to read it first. He thought it was worth publishing so if I didn't want to go through the painful process of finding a publisher, he would do it himself. Thus, Sarah's Valley came to be! It has done very well on Kindle. For those of you who like to hold a book in your hand, you can now read the hard copy. If you enjoyed Sarah's Valley, please consider writing a review. It would be very much appreciated.       Sharon's current books:  Mystery series: VIRTUAL ENEMIES, Beryl Swallows is hired to solve a murder - by the victim herself. A mystery within a mystery.
