About this Event
Sarah Carter and Corinne Shark present their memoir, The Skies Are Full of Us: A True Story of Speaking Up, Burning Down, and the Unbreakable Bond of Friendship.
ABOUT THE BOOK
How do you reclaim your life after it's been burned to the ground by systemic corruption? Long-time friends Sarah Carter and Corinne Shark are forced to find out after joining brave survivors and speaking out about their own experiences of religious corruption and sexual misconduct within two organizations. Using a storytelling arc encompassing therapy, written resources, community, family, and spiritual experiences, Sarah and Corinne reveal the cost of courage, the hope of healing, and the slow journey from trauma to wisdom.
The Skies Are Full of Us is a beacon flickering bright through the dark of night, an invitation to grab a blanket and curl up by the fire with the authors and bear witness to the collective liberation that happens when we tell the truth about our lives.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Sarah Carter is a writer, poet, and artist. Her writing explores the evocative dynamic between poetry and life, creatively braiding story, memoir, and myth into a language of holistic embodiment, and feminine empowerment. She grew up on an Arizona horse ranch and spent most days stowed away under giant Mesquite trees, imagining adventures and losing track of time. Now, she resides near a wildlife preserve outside Chicago, writing stories, riding horses, hiking with her dogs, creating abstract paintings in her studio, and hanging with loved ones. She still loves the desert and always stands barefoot under a full moon. Nothing makes her happier than witnessing women reclaim their worth and return home to themselves. More at sarahandcorinne.com
Corinne Shark is a storyteller, dreamer, and wild soul forever in search of adventure. Her writing is equal parts anthem and memoir fueled by the glow of honesty and the power of women finding each other by finding their own voice. A recovering rule-follower who exchanged her death-grip on certainty to return to the wide-open wandering of her Arizona desert, she has deep convictions about what constitutes a good taco, stopping for sunsets, and always needs more ice. She is forever sending up flares and lighting bonfires on the bluff for women telling the truth about their lives - even if only a whisper, even if only to themselves. More at sarahandcorinne.com.
