Author Testimonial: I never set out to write a book, let alone become a published author. What began as a deeply personal story slowly grew into something bigger—and little did I realise how much support I would need to turn that dream into reality. From the very beginning, Sarah approached my work with kindness, patience and genuine compassion. She took the time to get to know me and understand the heart behind my memoir, not just the words on the page. Her gentle questions invited reflection and helped me see where my manuscript could grow stronger and more meaningful. The publishing journey is filled with many steps, and at times it felt overwhelming. But Sarah was there every step of the way—guiding, encouraging and sharing her knowledge so I could move forward with confidence. Today, I am a published author, and that simply would not have happened without her. Sarah is a generous person with a big heart, along with the skills, professionalism and experience needed to help writers succeed—especially if you’re an accidental author like me.

Book Blurb/Description: From Pain to Purpose is a deeply honest memoir of a mother surviving the unimaginable — the sudden loss of her son, Cooper.

Written with a grief-brain in mind, Vicki gently guides readers through the shock of early grief, the fog that follows, and the long process of learning to live in a world forever changed.

She writes openly about trauma, the painful silence, and the small signs of connection that show love doesn’t end. This isn’t a story about “moving on,” but about learning to live with grief.

A love story. A survival story. For every parent carrying a broken heart — and for Cooper, forever 25.
