Although Sandra Werle served as the author of Our Grandfamily - it is not her story. Instead, this book grew out of the hearts and experiences of the participants of The SHARE Project group - resilient, resourceful grandparents and honest, courageous grandchildren. Sandra has had the privilege of sharing in the lives of grandparents raising their grandchildren over the past thirteen years through her involvement with The Children's Link Society Grandparent Coffee Social. As SHARE Project Coordinator, Sandra treasured working with grandparents and grandchildren on this book and used the opportunity to share her interest in writing and her belief that we can all find ways to spread light and hope in this world. Sandra holds a Master's degree in Special Education and lives with her husband, son, and dog.
