The Red Dress and Other Stories - Paperback

Harrison, Heidi: - Heidi Harrison, author of The Four Seasons (Sapphire Books Publishing), When Paris Was Her Lover and From the Outside (Emerald House Publishing) has always loved writing. At a very early age, she realized that words allowed for the exodus of her soul, a rhapsody, a sense of grace enveloping her. Writing has been her boulder, her stories the healing balm in a world that sometimes cries out for this. She was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She holds a MS degree in Counseling Psychology, and a dual degree in Child Development and French, and she spent almost thirty years as a psychotherapist and a teacher of young children. She is also a classically trained violinist. She has traveled extensively between the hemispheres and has lived and studied in Paris and in Grenoble, France. She has written several novels and children's books, countless stories, (fiction and creative nonfiction) and a full-length memoir. In each of these works, she is inspired by imagination itself, by real stories of people's lives, by love, by music, by the stunning majesty of nature, by the beauty and power of words, relationships, the diversity of cultures, and the resiliency of the human heart. We live in a complicated and often challenging world, and yet, as a writer, an observer, and as a teacher, she is, every day, inspired by the grace and by the infinite beauty that we, as humans, embody. Our dazzling earth is of an infinite nature; humbly, she lets words only begin to describe it.
