Sara Barton is a woman who has spent eight years frantically pursuing a mediocre and entirely unexamined life - one without sorrows, without scars. Sara's best friend, Jule, has been missing from her life for eight years. Jule's disappearance was so inexplicable and so painful that Sara has completely obliterated all remembrances of her--until a photograph brings them back suddenly and without warning. Thus Sara begins an unwilling journey into the blackness of her abyss to put together the pieces of her memories, answers to the question of what had happened, and most of all to see if she can somehow find the Sara she had once been. Sara Sometimes is a story about friendship and loss and survival. It is about the selves we discard along the way to becoming the person we are.
