Sometimes gripping, sometimes lyrical, always current and humorous, Sarah Schwarcz's tales will hook your imagination and heart. With one foot in the real world and one foot in fantasy throughout her life, Sarah brings the two worlds together as she shapes meaning from moments, gaining insights to living--in the best of times, and some of the worst of times. Growing up in Dubuque, Iowa, Sarah crosses the Mississippi on the Julien Dubuque Bridge to live in several cities, before settling in the Chicago area to teach and raise her family. As she separates problems from blessings, she realizes we learn from both, and seeks to share that insight. Sarah encourages readers to cross their own bridges, one tear and one laugh at a time, to reach their 'aha' moments, gaining truths and faith in their own voices and choices"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Schwarcz, Sarah Ray. 650 0 $a Educators $z Illinois $v Biography. 651 0 $a Dubuque (Iowa) $v Biography. 651 0 $a Dubuque (Iowa) $x Authors. $9 199039 655 0 $a Autobiographies. $9 802326 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062503.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=62E31D40300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
