edit data

Sharon J. Wishnow is a transplanted New Englander who makes her home in Northern Virginia. In addition to writing upmarket fiction with environmental themes, Sharon writes non-fiction in the science, technology, and business categories with a passion for research, seashells, birds, and the ocean. She has been a member of the Boston Malacological Club since she was ten years old. She credits growing up by the ocean and family camping trips for her love and respect for all that is outside her door.

Sharon is the former Vice President of Communications for the ...more

Beautifully written but a chewy, slow burn story. Interesting controlled head-hopping structure. I loved the narrative voice and the character study of this unraveling family. Not a quick read or a feel good beach book for sure.
