Come Back (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517172794)

Sally Crosiar (rhymes with 'closure') is the author of Find the Love of Your Life (Healthy People Press, 2000) based on how she and her first husband found each other - after both had nearly given up looking. Writing about their love story helped her heal after his death and gave her the courage to use similar strategies to meet a new love and partner on match.com several years later. Her children's book with an adult message, My Uncle Dave (Healthy People Press, 2001) about an almost true incident features first husband Dave. Blind guy falls into the pool once, reacts with is understandable fear. Outcome? Unhappy, angry evening! A week later, Dave falls into the pool again, laughs his head off. Outcome? Fun! Uncle Dave tells Eric that although we may not be able to control events, shifting our reaction can make all the difference! Sally teamed up with Dr. Sidney B. Simon to co-author Love Builders: Tools to Enhance Any Relationship (iUniverse, 2002). She has also co-authored numerous health and youth development curricula as a consultant for Cornell University, including: Choose Health: Food, Fun, and Fitness (2015), Choose Health in 4-H Clubs (2012), Youth Development Foundations for 4-H Camp Staff (2003), Growing Healthy Girls (2002), and more. Come Back is Sally's debut novel, a story of healing and family betrayal in a small Iowa town. As satisfying as she has found writing clear informative content, the bug of bringing fictional characters to life bit deep. She is currently at work on her second novel about a young woman's quest to save her family home and heritage from encroaching development. Sally lives in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York where she enjoys sailing, kayaking in the boat she built from a kit, creating wearable art, and savoring fine red wines from sunnier climes. In addition to writing she teaches health, play, and after-school programming for Empire State College and the Network for Youth Success.
