Press Highlights
"It's not every day a teenager gets published." âMcHenry County Living
"At 19, most teenagers are struggling to choose a college major, a group of friends, a summer jobâan identity.
[Sarah], on the other hand, is busy adding 'published author' to her already crowded rĂ©sumĂ©." âThe Northwest Herald
"Often, for children, those childhood dreams are fleeting. One day they want to be an actress, the next a singer, the next a veterinarian. But for [Sarah], it was always an author. And it wasn't just a pipe dream." âThe Times-Delphic
"Can you imagine being a published novelist as a teenager? Nineteen-year-old [Sarah] can... [Her] own tenacity is something that she built into her protagonist, Elizabeth Chauncey." âMcHenry County Magazine
âIn Sarah, you have not only a highly ambitious and capable young person but someone who will emerge as a leader.â
âCarol Spaulding-Kruse, Drake University Newsroom
âOur students need to see these unique, yet far from impossible, experiences of fellow writers. We want all of our students to see themselves as writers and know that their words and stories matter.â âBecky Sisler, Huntley Community School District 158
