Sally Frances

Sally Frances is a retired clinical social worker who treated patients with post trauma disorders for over 34 years in her private practice. Her study of trauma and interest in how we regenerate adult development after being frozen by PTSD, inspired the writing of this novel.

A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, Sally also received master’s degrees from New York University in Education, and Columbia University in social work.

She has had numerous post-graduate trainings, including at the feminist Women’s Therapy Institute, The EMDR Institute, and The Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute.

She has presented work on trauma therapy for Bric TV, on New York One television, and at workshops for the Long Island EMDR Regional Network. Her first article on mental health was published in a clinical newsletter when she was thirteen.

Sally studied fiction writing at the Sackett Writers Group and the Sarah Lawrence College Writing Institute.

Her short fiction has been published by Persimmontree.org, in the anthologies, Flash Reads, Connections in a Flash, Resistance in a Flash, and in the literary journal, Belletrist Magazine.

She is a long-time resident of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, where she lives with her family.
