Wandering

...a long way past the past

It was the late 1970s … a time when mobiles, the internet, and more modern modes of touring were non-existent. It was a time when best-selling author Sharon Kreider embarked on her three-year solo adventure from her remote hometown in Canada to Asia.

Through her eyes, her experiences, and her delicious words, you will discover:

  • Majestic Nepal before the rest of the world did.
  • The colors of India and rivers of love that flow through it.
  • Goa and the most beautiful beach in the world.
  • How the Middle East evoked questions: What am I doing? Where am I going? Who am I?

Sylvie is a poignant women’s fiction novel examining a family’s love for one another, acceptance, and letting go. Set in the Colorado mountains, it reveals the secrets and lies surrounding what appears to be a perfect family. Exploring the delicate threads binding family together, we learn how an unexpected tragedy can unravel everything and how they find hope, inspiration, and forgiveness to continue.

An important and sadly relevant story about a loving family forced to accept and forgive the results of a young girl’s repeated social rejection, Sylvie is a must-read for grief groups, parents, and educators; providing useful, understandable insight for parents and siblings of family members suffering consequences of coping with unexpressed trauma.

Most of us in the Northern Hemisphere are likely embracing this time of year with the coming of spring and the increase of daylight. The return of warmth and blooming flowers, marking the

Bears, Wolves, and Cougars

Last September, as we were hiking down a mountain trail in the Pacific Northwest, my husband suddenly stopped and put a finger to his lips, indicating we shouldn’t talk. The underbrush was lush, still verdant green with hints of the autumn color to come –tinges of gold and crimson red. I couldn’t see anything, so I gingerly glided to where
