"A Feed Sack Dress for Sadie" releases next week.
The story came from something real. My mother was a hospice volunteer and cared for a woman who kept a photo of a little girl in a crudely cut burlap sack dress. She said she had been stolen as a child and never knew where she came from.
That stayed with me. I carried her story as I wrote it.
Early readers call the book powerful, devastating.
