About this audiobook
Following the unexpected death of her alcoholic mother, sixteen-year-old Terry Sue decides her biological father, whom she doesn't know, could change her life for the better. However, by the time she finds him—after decades of searching—she understands that the nurture she thought she needed from him is something she's already cultivated for herself.
Terry Sue Harms
Terry Sue Harms has been a happy hairdresser and salon owner for over forty years. She finds that her powers of observation and good communication skills have served both her work as a cosmetologist and as a writer; plus, when it comes to studying the human condition, few places are better than the beauty shop. After a childhood of illiteracy, she taught herself to read and write as a young adult, one of her proudest and most rewarding accomplishments. She has self-published two books: Pearls My Mother Wore, a novel, and Reflections Upon the Occasion of My 85th Year, a memoir coauthored with her father-in-law. The Strongbox: Searching For My Absent Father is her third book—a memoir published by She Writes Press (October 2020). Terry Sue lives in scenic Sonoma, California, with her husband.
