Sarah Carrington was born and raised in a religious community. She knew nothing about the outside world and everything she ate, wore, read and did was governed by the beliefs of her community. A community she grew to call a cult. Sarah spent most of her free time as a child in nature with her survival-enthusiast parents. She learned to survive and thrive in all seasons, with few supplies. Then her father died in a tragic accident. As adolescence changed her body, it also changed the way some men treated her. At thirteen, needing to escape, she left the commune. Woefully unprepared, with minimal education and no believable works skills, she teetered on the brink of homelessness. Her naivety drew her into a world of sex and drugs, without the rock and roll. Despite enduring traumas and indignities. she became a sexually confident young woman while searching for a place to belong. Then, at twenty-three, she became an orphan, pregnant, a stepmother, and a guardian to her siblings. But—the world wasn’t done with her yet. http://www.sarahcarringtonauthor.com
