I am thrilled to announce that my second record, My Name Is Sharon, was just released on May 16! It's available on iTunes now. You can also preview it at my website, www.sharon-kenny.com!
On May 24, CNN.com featured my forthcoming nonfiction book (Don't Kill the Birthday Girl: Tales from an Allergic Life) in an article called "Don't Kill the Birthday Guest." Author Katia Hetter interviewed me and shared my allergy-friendly tips for hosting both kids and adults. Read the article here:
Don't Kill the Birthday Girl is both a memoir and a cultural history of food allergies, which affect over 12 million Americans today. Author Adriana Trigiani says, "For readers who suffer from allergies, or care for someone who does, for parents who wonder why they can no longer send their child to school with the American staple, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or for anyone curious about how Sandra Beasley handles a lifelong challenge successfully, this book is for you. Winning, wise and humorous, you'll think twice when someone says, ‘Pass the peanuts.’”
DKTBG will be out on July 12, in both Kindle and hardback editions. Pre-order now! You can find more info here:

Mother has heard and has been affected by baby’s pain.
These are a few paragraphs from my therapy session today. I am sharing this here to demonstrate how healing this session, and holding! it for me was. Because I had a 'dead' mother who was unaffected by me as a baby and child, I myself had to become dead. To have a therapist who is affected by me feels so scary but also healing.
