Author Sharon Monroe brings readers face to face with life's most challenging moments in her first book, Surviving the Truth [https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Truth-Sharon-Monroe-ebook/dp/B0DWH3LVKV/ref=monarch_sidesheet_image]. The novel tells the story of Laura, a 53-year-old woman whose life is upended by hidden family secrets and the sudden loss of her husband. Set between Kerrville, Texas, and the mountains of Wyoming, Laura's journey is one of rediscovering strength, purpose, and self-understanding.

"This story is about the kind of grief and uncertainty that many people encounter but don't always talk about," Monroe said. "I wanted Laura to be a reflection of how complicated it can be to accept change, loss, and the truth about our past."

Laura and her sister, Susan, must reevaluate their shared memories after discovering long-buried family secrets and mysteries. At the same time, Laura's efforts to help others do not always go as planned, adding another layer of challenge to her personal healing. With chocolate and Pinot Noir as her coping companions, Laura confronts life's realities-learning that helping others, just like helping oneself, often comes with its own set of difficulties.
