Sharon Svitak, a native San Franciscan, mother of two grown children, and recently widowed, began writing letters to her grandson, Ethan, to work her way through the painful loss of her husband. But what began as an outlet for her grief became a project to pass on to her heirs some of the good memories of her thirty-four year marriage.
A published writer of articles and essays, Letters to Ethan: Joe's Story, is her first book length work.
"In Letters to Ethan, a lovely tribute to her husband and a book of valuable memories for her grandsons, Sharon Svitak illustrates how a man can be curious and active even with physical limitations." Judy Lussie, contributing author to These Days magazine.
