Episode 55: Sarah Dooley interview


In our continued effort to whet appetites for the 2011 WV Writers Summer Conference, this week we interview Sarah Dooley, author of the young adult novel Livvie Owen Lived Here. The book is a story told from the perspective of an autistic 14-year-old girl whose loving family is frequently thrown into chaos by her actions. In real life Sarah is a teacher of special needs children and can speak to the reality of kids like Livvie.

Sarah will be leading two workshops at the 2011 Summer Conference, June 10, 11 and 12 at Cedar Lakes Conference Center in Ripley, WV.
