Today I Learned It Was You by Edward Riche

I was a bride-to-be who never gave up hope that my mom would beat her cancer and that she would live to see my wedding. Just One More Day is the love story between a mother and daughter. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel grateful for the blessings they are to me.Ĭan you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others? I owe my success and where I am in life to them. Their love, support, and encouragement gave me the push I needed to make my dream of publishing my books a reality. My boyfriend and my three children are my biggest cheerleaders. I could not have been successful without my village. It goes without saying it always a challenge to be a self-published author. It was refreshing and a relief when I only received love, support, and encouragement from my family, friends, peers, and readers. I also wanted to protect my family and friends I portrayed in my books in a positive light.

I could not believe I shared such personal and private secrets with the world. Every time each of my books was published a scary feeling of being exposed set in, and I experienced panic and anxiety. Initially, my most significant obstacle was overcoming the fear of being vulnerable. I was 24 and learned the hard lesson that no matter how good a person is they still die.Ĭan you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

She died at the age of 49 two weeks before my wedding. My dad worked hard for his wealth, but all the money in the world could not save my mom from breast cancer. I was also raised to always be forgiving and lead with love. We lived with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for life. They were actively involved in various philanthropies and taught me to always give back to our community. My parents instilled in me a strong work ethic and values that shaped who I am. I learned from a young age that it was a miracle he survived, and our lives were a gift never to be taken for granted. I am still friends with the same girls today… My dad was a hidden child of the Holocaust. My home was always filled with love, laughter, and music. I was the only daughter between two brothers. When I was seven years old, we moved to the San Fernando Valley living in Tarzana and then Studio City. I guess you can say I was a very independent baby. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and moved to Los Angeles a few weeks after I was born. Hi Sharon, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
