Finding Sarah.

You Can’t Read the Label from Inside the Jar, a modern fable for real women.

Since she was twelve, Sarah has caught everything before it fell. Nobody noticed when she started falling, too.

At fifty, Sarah teaches AP Language, juggles her mother’s cardiology and her father’s oncology, and keeps a husband and two teenagers running on time. Then, on an ordinary morning, she whispers the truth: she can’t do all of this. An empty jalapeño jar in the back of the pantry shows her why, and one stone at a time, Sarah starts to turn.

Funny, profane, and painfully familiar, this is a novel-length story with reflection pages after each part and the complete STONES Framework Sarah uses to find her way back to herself.

Who it’s for

If you see yourself in Sarah, you’ll know by page ten.

  • You are the one everyone calls first, and the last one anyone asks how they are.
  • You have done everything right on paper and feel quietly unrecognizable underneath.
  • You are carrying aging parents, teenagers, a household, and a career at the same time.
  • You keep waiting to feel like yourself again, and the waiting has gone on long enough.
  • You want a story that ends with turning, not with fixing.

What’s inside

A story you finish, and a framework you keep.

  • A complete novel told in parts, readable in a weekend, and still with you a month later.
  • Reflection pages after each part, so Sarah's story can turn into your own questions.
  • The complete STONES Framework Sarah uses to find her way back to herself.
  • The unglamorous truth of midlife caregiving, marriage, motherhood, and teaching, written with humor.

Reading the novel is the on-ramp. Turn the Stone, the 46-page guide sold here for $37, is the same work with the workbook open.

About the author

Susan Townsend wrote the story she kept telling clients.

Susan has spent over 25 years teaching and coaching, most of it sitting with women who looked fine on paper and felt unrecognizable underneath. She taught AP Language for over 25 years, built the STONES Framework in the middle of her own burnout, and now runs Turning Stones Life Coaching from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, working online with women anywhere.

Finding Sarah is that work written down as a story instead of a session: the same invitation to stop performing the life you are tired of, and start building the one that actually fits.
