Character Interview: Sarah – The Unspoken Series
Today’s character interview is with Sarah. We met Sarah in Where Love Finds You and saw her go through a terrible tragedy in Down from the CLouds. This interview doesn’t give away spoilers. SO if you haven’t read those books yet, don’t worry.
Sarah, after what you’ve recently endured, do you wish you could go back in time and change your circumstances?
Absolutely not. What I’ve gone through recently has been terrible. I can’t think of anything worse to go through besides some kind of gruesome death or being raped. However, there’s nothing in life that doesn’t teach us to be better, stronger, and more beautiful on the inside. This has taught me so much and there are some days I wake up and cry, wondering why me, but then I look around at others and realize I have no reason to complain. I can either complain and discourage people going through hard stuff, or I can be happy and encourage people to press on.
Do you find it hard to press on some days?
Of course. James is a huge encouragement. Ella, my best friend who is more like a sister, is amazing. She travels hours to visit me at least four times a month, and that’s a lot considering her busy lifestyle right now. This experience has brought me closer to my cousin, Rose, who has helped me more than I can say. There’s a lot of hard times when you go through something like this, but I have amazing friends and family that help me through it. I hope one day I can repay everyone.
Your book is coming up in The Unspoken Series . . . in the spring. It’s called “Bloom.” Can you tell us more about your book compared to the others in the series?
My story probably has the most pain so far, outside of Tylissa. I can’t imagine what she’s going through, but the girl is strong. Way stronger than I am. As soon as I get back to normal I want to get to know her better. But anyway, back to my story, I have a hard time focusing on myself. Maybe that’s because of everything I’m going through. You’ll just have to wait and see. I have a painful story to share, but my real search is for true beauty. What is it and how do you attain it? I hope people find that when they read my story.
Thanks so much for reading about Sarah! Her story will be released in May 2014. Catch up with the rest of the series before then!
