about

This was originally released as a double CD.
Created with the listener in mind — to let you inside Sara’s mind.

Disc One is titled "The Mirror (Of Despair)" and contains songs of universal woe and quiet lament in conjunction with womankind: from depression, addiction, domestic violence, murder, insomnia, Sara’s family ties to President John and Abigail Adams, a mother’s hands, and finding faith in one’s own song.

Disc Two is titled "The Thread (Of Happiness)" representing a woman’s heart, bright and sparkling, with undercurrents of frustration and wanting: returning to the joys of love, sex, hope, saints, children, little birds and the garden.

The songs are presented here in order with "Birdhouse" being the start of Disc Two.
