Diary of a Dyslexic Homeschooler hopes to build understanding and encouragement, by leading readers to see the heart behind the label. J H. reviewed Diary of a Dyslexic A Year of Untangling " Empathy is hard to teach" "But this story does it. To understand that who a person, especially a child, is--is not her abilities or disabilities--but way deeper and more precious. This story does that, too." P.

"December 21, 2017 "The author does an excellent job expressing the frustration and disappointments of a child struggling to learn to read. I laughed with this little girl and cried with her. I became angry with those people who didn't understand her situation, and unknowingly wounded her soul. I rooted for her parents as they defended their daughter and changed the culture around them. I admired her as she continued trying--even when she was tired and discouraged. All of us who teach, tutor, and love young children could benefit from a peek into this little girl's heart. I highly recommend this book."
Sarah lives in California, in a home that brings her happiness and hay fever. She loves God, loves her family, and loves freshly brewed coffee. She has a husband who cooks, a son who stop animates, a daughter who loves animals, a dog that follows her everywhere, and a turtle who scowls at her condescendingly.
Her mother raised her on Mary Higgins Clark, Diane Mott Davidson, and Remington Steele. Her grandmother shared True Crime stories with her as they plotted how to get away with the perfect murder. It's no surprise that Sarah became an award-winning spinner of suspenseful tales brimming with quirky characters. Mysteries are in her blood. Not that she could survive one of her own stories. She confesses, "I'd be snuffed out by chapter two."
