Twelve-year-old BFFs,
Ginnie West and Tillie Taylor, are matchmaking geniuses. Together, they
maneuvered Ginnie’s widower-dad into proposing to Tillie’s divorcee-mom. Sweet!
Certain they are well on their way to sisterhood, each girl is floored when
Tillie’s lousy-excuse-for-a-father puts in an appearance after a six year
absence. Too bad “lousy dad repellant” doesn’t come in a can. Even though
Tillie’s dad has sobered up and is determined to make amends, Tillie would rather he just disappear again. If he stays,
“Operation: Secret Sisters” may need to be renamed “Operation: Not Gonna
Happen.” If that’s not bad enough, the biggest bully in seventh grade comes
over often and wishes he could call the West’s farmhouse “home.” When the
bully’s abusive dad shows up as well, Ginnie thinks it’s time to change her
family’s motto from “When you’re here, you’re family” to “There’s no more room
at the West’s.”

Sandra Steiner completed a Bachelor of Education degree after high school and has been working for the
last twenty years in the Accounting field. Becoming a published author has always been a dream. She is a
proud mother and grandmother. Sandra lives with her husband on Vancouver Island in beautiful Victoria,
British Columbia Canada.
Since the death of her teenage daughter in 2004 she has inspired many to think positively and to live life
for the moment. Over the years she has motivated many individuals to believe in themselves, and they
have encouraged her to write and share her experiences. She is a strong woman who believes anything is
possible if you believe in yourself.
The trilogy I have written portrays three incredibly strong women who are faced with difficult
circumstances in their lives and the journey they went through to overcome them. Spring Island is a
fictional place in which they all find comfort and hope in one way or another.
Live for Today is Lily’s story. It is a story of incredible strength, searching for answers about her birth
family Lily finds that sometimes it is more important to just Live for Today.
In January of this year when I began writing the first book in the trilogy, Cherish the Past, the words just
felt right. They flowed through my mind into the manuscript. Simultaneously I was working on a second
writing project which has turned out to be book two of this trilogy Live for Today. Again, the words just
flowed.
In April when I suggested to my husband that I wanted to publish them he was very supportive and said
go ahead. I told my boys about them, and they were excited for me! None of them questioned my ability
to write ..... But I did. I had dreamt of this off and on for years but it was just a dream. Reality was it was
the80′s I was a young mom of three, working full time and in college full time. I had enough to do without
writing. I accepted that then, and just put the idea away.
Life has a way of moving along and now it’s 2014, I’m a grandma and my boys are grown. In November
2013 I found my hours seriously cut at work, and time on my hands so I started my blog, steiner-style.
Then in January the books were started. Unfortunately in March I found my job was eliminated, and
though I have been applying for work like crazy I still haven’t found anything. I now had even more time
in my hands so I kept writing. My books were both completed in March, and they went to the publisher.
