Opening the Door

SARAH is one of the many people that we look at every day, but never really see. She is an extremely street smart young woman who has her sights on bettering her life in this world and will do whatever it takes to accomplish this end. Her age and smile lead people to make false assumptions about her. They think of her as both innocent and naïve. While in actuality she is neither.

The main character in the series is a perfect example of why people should not make assumptions of those around them. Sarah was raised in a dysfunctional environment leaving her with both some deep emotional scars and a means to cope with them. Means that would surprise others. Understanding the different layers of not only her but of the people she calls her friends lends credit to the phrase: "Every cripple has their own way of walking."

Like the main character in his book, Michael A. Roberts was born and reared in Savannah Georgia. He joined the US Navy at seventeen to see the world and traveled both far and wide to seek adventure, Making friends in other countries taught him to understand things from other people's point of view. During this time he also wrote occasional articles for publication. Following military retirement he managed multiple convenience stores on the Virginia Peninsula and constantly made notes about the people and situations he encountered. These helped provide the basics for his Savannah Girl novels. Although no character is exactly patterned after an actual person, they helped provide the inspiration for this book. Mr. Roberts currently works as a security guard and moon lights as a writer.
