How do you find your voice when the world has spent a lifetime trying to silence you?
Seldom Spoken is not just a memoir about trauma; it is a manifesto for survivors. It is a reminder that no matter how many “midnight calls” life brings, it is possible to rewrite your narrative, filter out the lies of self-doubt, and build a beautiful, fiercely authentic life.
Born into the mountains of Southwest Virginia and spending early childhood with a family of artists, SANDRA BALDWIN’S Appalachian childhood and travels have given her a unique American perspective.
Though she resided in Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Kentucky and finally Delaware, her notoriously “itchy feet” have taken her through 47 states.
An avid horsewoman, she and her husband Sid rehabilitated and rehomed horses on her Riner Virginia farm. It was there that they shared their farm with eleven foster children over the years. Their family of 15 grandchildren and one great-grandchild have filled their hearts.
Sandra is now retired but will always be an educator and artist at heart.
