With an intelligent gaze, Sarah exudes calm and confidence, and yet she carries a quiet violence within her. Often without having to name things, her eyes speak for themselves. Her grief does not crush her; it moves through her quietly, with unexpected surges. She refuses to be defined by this event, and despite the pain, she remains a complex woman, at times funny, at times distant, but always entirely herself. Despite the loss of their child, she and her husband, Peter, continue to share a profound bond.
