Burning Woman: Memoirs of an Elder
()
About this ebook
But life has its own seasons and time. The Great Recession necessitates the closing of Sharon’s gallery. She comes to the end of Burning Man. A wildfire destroys her home and, most devastating of all, completely incinerates her art studio and twenty years’ worth of work.
Through it all, Sharon honors her experiences—even the most painful ones—because she knows that each one helps shape who she is. Ultimately, Burning Woman is a passionate love story about the adventure of aging that will inspire readers to feel their strength and commit to living their lives to the fullest and with a sense of pride and purpose.

Sharon Strong is a practicing psychologist and artist, mask-maker, and creator of towering sculptures for Burning Man as well as gallery exhibits in Northern California. She is the illustrator of two books—Serious Fun: Ingenious Improvisations on Money, Food, Waste, Water & Home, by Carolyn North, and Two Lines 13: Masks, edited by Zack Rogow—and in 2005 she self-published Soul Unmasked: A Personal Journey into the Ancient Ritual of the Mask. She lives in Angels Camp, California, on twenty acres in a straw-bale house with her husband, filmmaker Tom Weidlinger, whom she met at age seventy. Their story inspired her to write Burning Woman.
