Sandra Damiani spends her time at the intersection of writing and advocating for children in the juvenile court system. Her foremost reason for writing is to use the protagonists' experiences in her stories to help her readers understand and empathize with others. She believes that when people contemplate other people's perspectives and accept that their experiences are not the only lived experiences, they move closer to understanding that we are all in this together. And isn't that what we need more of in this world? Understanding, empathy, and connection?
