Author Sandra Washington’s New Book, “Our Story: A Widow’s Journey,” is a Beautiful and Moving Autobiographical Story of Love, Hope, Heartache, and Faith
[ad_1]
The youngest of four, author Sandra Washington was married to her beloved husband Wayne Washington Sr. for thirty-three years before his passing. She is the mother of two children and is affectionately known as “Grammy” to five adorable grandchildren. Currently, Sandra is serving a four-year elected term as Village Clerk of Glenwood, Illinois, and is an active member of Faith Movers Church in University Park, Illinois, under Pastor Moses B. Herring Sr. and First Lady LaCresha Herring. In her retirement, Sandra enjoys traveling, reading, praise and worship, and meeting new people on this life’s journey.
“Marriage is a covenant and a long-term commitment made between two people and God,” writes Washington. “Many people really don’t consider ‘till death do we part’ as a true reality when they recite their wedding vows. We never thought about that inevitable reality that one of us would be a widow or a widower. Our ‘till death do us part’ came much sooner than we expected.
“Marriage is not for the faint of heart. God must be in the center if you want your union to be richly blessed and sustained. True love is unwavering. Throughout our marriage, God revealed it required a mutual mindset of patience, prayer, love, and commitment to maintain a healthy godly marriage. Our marriage was designed to mirror the relationship of Jesus Christ and his church.”
Washington continues, “The widowhood journey is not an easy path. But most importantly, readers will know how God uses trials and tribulations to make each of us draw closer to Him. God is true to His promises. There is beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and a lot of praise in this widow’s journey.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Sandra Washington’s new book is a deeply personal and intimate journey that invites readers to witness the incredible life both the author and her husband built together before his unexpected passing. Touching and poignant, Washington hopes to connect with readers who may find themselves in a similar position and help them to navigate the life of a widow through sharing her own story.
Readers can purchase “Our Story: A Widow’s Journey” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Sonoma County Memoir “My Wine Country” Recounts Author Victor Sanchez Jr.’s Path Through Hardship
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Victor Sanchez Jr. has published a memoir, "My Wine Country," drawing on his own upbringing in Sonoma County to describe a childhood marked by hardship and what the author describes as an eventual path toward stability. The book is out now through Page Publishing, available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
According to the announcement, the book traces Sanchez’s life from adolescence, when he began facing what the publisher describes as life’s most demanding challenges, through his later experience as a cancer survivor. Both periods, the announcement states, inform the book’s reflections on survival and endurance.
The publisher describes "My Wine Country" as both a personal memoir and a broader meditation on resilience, built around themes of loss, perseverance, and what the announcement calls the quiet joys that sustain people through difficult periods. Sanchez frames the project in personal terms. "This book represents my truth," he said in the announcement. "I wanted to share my story not just as a survivor, but as someone who learned that pain and joy are inseparable parts of what makes us human."
The setting is a specific one: Sonoma County, part of California’s wine country, a region more commonly associated in print with travel writing and vineyard guides than with memoirs of adolescent hardship. That contrast, between the postcard image of the region and the account Sanchez describes living through there, is part of what the book is positioned around.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Sanchez’s account of place complicates the wine country’s usual story.

Brooklyn Prosecutor Turned Civil Attorney Publishes Memoir on Rising from Poverty in Jacksonville
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Rudolph Silas, Esq. has published "Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten: An Autobiographical Novel," a memoir tracing his path from a childhood in Jacksonville, Florida, marked by poverty to a career as an attorney in New York. Studio CarryOnHarry received the announcement from Page Publishing, which released the book this month.
According to the book’s own description, the memoir recounts the story of a poor Black child born out of wedlock with few options, and how perseverance, fortunate circumstances, and unexpected kindness from others transformed what began as limited prospects into a life of achievement. The announcement frames the book as both a personal account and a broader reflection on class, race, and what remains possible in America despite systemic obstacles.
Silas’s legal career forms a throughline for the book, according to the announcement. After establishing himself as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, he subsequently defended New York City agencies and everyday citizens in civil matters, securing what the announcement describes as numerous seven-figure verdicts and settlements.
"What began as a series of disadvantages became the foundation for a life I could never have imagined," Silas said in the announcement. "I wrote this book to show others facing similar circumstances that their current situation does not determine their destiny."
"Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten" is available through Page Publishing, as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Google Play.
Studio CarryOnHarry is always interested in how professionals outside publishing translate hard-won expertise, legal, medical, or otherwise, into memoir, and this one fits that pattern worth watching.
