About Sara
Hi! I'm the author of three novels for young adults: STORY OF A GIRL (a 2007 National Book Award finalist), SWEETHEARTS, and ONCE WAS LOST. All are published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. I've also had short pieces in several anthologies. I live in Salt Lake City with my husband and a parakeet, and on the web at www.sarazarr.com where I blog regularly.
