“You must keep many secrets and tell many lies when your people are at war with themselves.”
American photographer Shelly Smith goes to El Salvador during the Salvadoran Civil War. Making her home among the townspeople, Shelly draws closer to them as she listens to their horrific stories while capturing their portraits on camera. Shelly is asked to take pictures of an imprisoned female American journalist for the purpose of exposing the truth about what is happening in the war to the American public. The assignment is extremely risky. If she chooses to go, there is a high chance that she may follow in the martyred footsteps of her uncle, Leftist poet Roque Dalton.
In her debut book, rising author Sherrie Miranda scripts a story that is not for the faint of heart. Miranda’s narrative tightly interweaves fictional characters within historical environs that zeroes in on the plight of the poor. A mix of injustices that convolutes family relations and Shelly’s personal experiences and struggles, Miranda aptly sheds light on the complicated issues about the smallest as well as the most densely populated country in Central America. A combination of cliffhanging chapter closures and unexpected scenes, Miranda’s novel is certain to be a wonderful addition to Central American history collections.

I am a woman of many hats: a wife to a wonderful husband, a mother of three awesome children, a grandmother to an amazing, little granddaughter, and a long-time educator in varied degrees (pun intended!). Starting with a Bachelors degree in Music Education and a Masters degree in Library Science, I have chosen to use my skills to educate others, particularly youth. Whether a preschool teacher, home educator, teacher’s aide, tutor, music instructor, Irish DJ, and now book reviewer, my goal remains consistent: It is imperative that I provide tools to help others succeed in life.

Write Like You
That’s what editors are for! Write your story. Let the editor figure out what needs fixing!
She Left Pieces Of Her Life
This quote reminds me a lot of me & my life! Aren’t we supposed to leave pieces of our heart behind? Later, you find out that all those people still remember & love you!
It Can Be a Tough World!
I agree, Dray. Sadly, it’s getting tougher everyday. The 1% have more & the 99% have less. We must stop supporting these one percenters. Buy local. Buy from the shop owners. Buy healthy (because the companies that care about health are definitely not the corporations!). Try to get off Rx drugs (also by eating healthy). As the saying goes “Think globally, act locally!”
Peace, love & justice for all,
Sherrie

In anticipation of the changing season
Very soon, I will only be posting 1-2 posts a couple times a week. I already had the cover made for the prequel to “Secrets & Lies in El Salvador.” The prequel title is “Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans.” It will be Shelly’s story BEFORE she goes to El Salvador and as she prepares for her time there. I have a lot less to work with and a lot more to figure out. Since SLIES was the story of the civil war in ES, I already had a theme & main storyline as well as some plot twists, etc.
In the case of CIINO, I lived there seven years and must decide what is most important & needs to be in the novel.
Wish me luck! ;-)
Peace, love & justice for all,
Sherrie

Life Is An Echo
I know this (modified) saying from Bob Marley. But I’ve been told it originally comes from the bible.
Except the last part which actually comes from Buddha and/or the Dali Lama.
Whoever & however it is said, I totally agree with it. I accept it heart, mind & soul! ;-)
Peace, love & good karma to all,
