[close] So, Sienna St. James, the star of my novels Losing Hope, Without Faith, and the upcoming Sacrifices of Joy, is a social worker who keeps finding mysteries on her caseload. She also wrestles with her own personal flaws and family drama. As a social worker myself, I try to touch on real issues in my novels with the hope of providing encouragement and inspiration amid the page-turning action. With this discussion group, I want to talk about some of the issues that Sienna addresses - both with her clients and with her own personal concerns. I also want to keep the door open for comments about the series overall, questions you may have for me as the author, and conversation that ties it all together. Let's talk.
