Sarah Clarke Stuart - Her Daughter's Eyes - Dealing with a Child's Addiction

As a mother of two bright and healthy children, writer and
professor, Sarah Clarke Stuart, never imagined she’d hear the
words, “your child will either end up in prison or dead” from the
ravages of drug addiction. It's a trauma no parent can ever
prepare for, yet she and her young adult daughter have faced the
fire together for 5 yrs now, and “today is a good day,” Sarah
tells us. Sarah currently teaches English at Florida State
College. Her non-fiction books underscore Sarah’s passion for
storytelling, fantasy and metaphor, both on screen and on the
page: "Literary Lost: Viewing Television Through the Lens of
Literature" and "Into the Looking Glass: Exploring the Worlds of
Fringe." A freelance writer for local and regional publications,
Sarah is preparing for a TEDx talk on her journey w her
daughter's addiction and working on her first novel, a story she
says could not have been written without the life-changing
experience of the past 5 yrs. Listen at Swan Dive or wherever you
