This is a book about empowerment… and finding yourself within the rubble. -Sarah Elizabeth 


Welcome to the “livingroom edition” of the Story Behind Her Success.  These episodes take on a new vibe when you are sitting by the fire with a cup of tea.   Meet Sarah Elizabeth, author of the memoir When the White Picker Fence is No Longer Enough.  The divorced mother of two, her book is an open, honest account of what it was like for one woman to blow up her life when she knew deep down inside that it needed fixing.  Raised on a dirt road in rural Maine in a farmhouse built in 1770, Sarah says her childhood was idyllic, filled with long days exploring the beauty of nature.  She was in high school when her parents divorced and suddenly, her family as she knew it, fell apart.  Says Sarah: A divorce is the death of a family and as a young woman, the image of the white picket fence became a mission for me. I was convinced that I could build a life of control and instability.”   Determined to break the cycle when her own divorce occurred years later, Sarah and her husband agreed in advance that they would protect their children from the fallout:  “Our marriage didn’t work, but our family very much did.”  Written in a tone that is very much like a chat between friends, When the White Picket Fence is No Longer Enough is about the journey from being everything to everybody to becoming the fulfilled person you are meant to be.  Loaded with wisdom you can use, Sarah’s memoir is an essential read for anyone at a crossroads.  Says Sarah:  “You don’t have to 100% all the time.  Life is NOT perfect.  Give yourself some grace and space. “   #memoir #divorce #freedom #empowerment
