Shout: A Memoir
In an attempt to prove the existence of a spiritual government, this life story takes you through the journey of a hyper-intuitive human who becomes aware of the good and evil which persistently fight for her attention. From tornadoes and haunted houses to trauma, betrayal, and promiscuity, Sarah crafts her story with spice and humor without shying away from the lurid or embarrassing behavior.
Beginning with one of her earliest memories of being in the car with her dad, a song plays on the radio and embeds itself within her deep thought. That song follows her over the following twenty-some years and helps to influence decisions during the turbulent times of her messy and unconventional life. Set to he tune of an inner playlist, this brutally honest recount encompasses the foundation of existence, love, and spiritual warfare. Shout is a story we all have yet hide from the world around us, including ourselves.
