edit data

Sarah Van Goethem is a Canadian author, who grew up in southwestern Ontario's rich farmland, lounging on the old tire swing beneath the maple tree, book in hand.
Sarah is a nature lover, a wanderer of dark forests, and a gatherer of vintage. You can find her at auctions, thrift stores, and most definitely trespassing at anything abandoned.
Sarah still believes in fairy tales, but think Grimm's, not Disney. ...more
