Republished under the title, Darkness Overturned (Wheatmark, Inc.), it’s her autobiography about kidnapping, murder, and too many marriages. Born in the Pacific Northwest, EsthersChild has been writing stories and poems all her life. Her stories appeared in high school publications and her poetry was read at numerous celebrations. Her writing career has encompassed such varied assignments as scriptwriting part of the 1990 video series, ChildCrafting, for the television program, The Quiet Hour. Her story, Healing Art, found a spot in the February 1992 Reader's Digest Heroes For Today. She now claims Northern California as her home where she wrote a newspaper column, Sixty Something, for the St. Helena Star from 2008 - 2009. Her book, It Takes A Cat, is a tribute to her beloved Calico, a rescued kitty. This colorful volume, filled with photos, is a collection of blogs written over a period of three years. Some pages are verbatim though most have been reworked for clarity and coherence. She says that writing a blog is a relaxed endeavor; writing a book calls for greater diligence. It's like the difference between a paper napkin and linen. In her most recent book, Before the Bow Breaks, she shares her journey through the grief and loss of her daughter, an alcoholic. She says she wrote the book to give her daughter a chance to tell her story, to speak for herself. Who among us shall judge? Who among us can discern the legitimacy, the transparency, of a wounded heart bound with pain? Though Cassie succumbed to her afflictions, she continues to illuminate her mother's heart with her relentless courage."},{"label":"Author Website","value":"View personal or professional website for EsthersChild"},{"label":"Find e-Books by This Author","value":"View e-books by EsthersChild"},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by EsthersChild in the library catalog"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by EsthersChild in Open Library"},{"label":"Significant Title","value":"Before the bow breaks"},{"label":"Filename","value":"estherschild.jpg"},{"label":"Digital Archives Area Group(s)","value":["Local Arts"]},{"label":"Title","value":"EsthersChild"},{"label":"Item Type","value":["text"]},{"label":"Item Format or Genre","value":["photographs","portraits","bibliographies","biography files"]},{"label":"Country","value":["United States"]},{"label":"State or Province","value":["California"]},{"label":"California County","value":["Sonoma"]},{"label":"City or Town","value":["Healdsburg"]},{"label":"Geographic Metadata Source","value":["GNIS"]},{"label":"Street Address","value":"Healdsburg, California"},{"label":"Latitude","value":"38.61643"},{"label":"Longitude","value":"-122.864463"},{"label":"Geocoding Status","value":["Approximate geocoding"]},{"label":"Map Zoom Level","value":["13"]},{"label":"Maps/StreetView","value":"Find EsthersChild 's Sonoma County connections in Google Maps"},{"label":"Digital Archives Identifier","value":"estherschild"},{"label":"Digital Archives Collection Name(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Collection(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Search Author in WorldCat","value":"Search for EsthersChild 's author profile in WorldCat Identities"},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["EsthersChild"]},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["EsthersChild"]}],"description":"EsthersChild","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/12595093-44a4-4765-b4cd-5cab09379648/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"EsthersChild","height":506,"width":450,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/12595093-44a4-4765-b4cd-5cab09379648/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/12595093-44a4-4765-b4cd-5cab09379648","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":506,"width":450},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/12595093-44a4-4765-b4cd-5cab09379648/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/12595093-44a4-4765-b4cd-5cab09379648/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/12595093-44a4-4765-b4cd-5cab09379648/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
