Featured Interview With Sarah Ivette Morales
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Sarah Ivette Morales is a novice author who took a leap of faith. After thirteen years
as a dedicated teacher, she transitioned to stay-at-home mother of two girls. Cancer
was not on the agenda. Turning to writing, she used her pain into a labor of love to
share hope during the hard seasons in life. As a cancer survivor, she gained a renewal
of faith. Her journey has now taken a new and exciting turn as she embarks on a
career as an author, using her experiences to motivate and uplift others through
writing. Sarah always had a love for God, but she learned to fully surrender.
Her latest novel , Shoes of Peace on the Desert Road was published in May 2024 with
Christian Faith Publishing. It comes down to five things: God, faith, family, friends,
and a positive attitude. Sarah lives in Deep South Texas. She lives with her loving
husband, two precious daughters and two dogs, Max and Peaches. She enjoys reading,
listening to music, and traveling.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I always loved listening to stories and reading around five years old. Now my young daughters, who are three and five love reading too. Pete the Cat and Miss Nelson is Missing are their current favorites. I started writing at 38 after I received my cancer diagnosis.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Paulo Coelho and lots of children’s book authors! I generally don’t have a favorite genre, I feel that you learn so much in reading something out of your norm. My daughters inspire me in my writings, I wrote my book out of love for them and a promise I made to God.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Sarah went about her daily life as a planner, living by deadlines and goals. She planned to take a break from her 13-year teaching career to transition to a stay-at-home mother of two girls. Cancer was not on the agenda. What happens when you don’t plan for the unimaginable? The daily walk one takes through the worst storm of one’s life brings the ultimate test of faith.
Knowing this was out of her hands, Sarah turned to God’s love. Sarah always had a love for God, but she learned to fully surrender. It comes down to five things: God, faith, family, friends, and a positive attitude.
