About Author

Sarah Ockler is the author of the critically acclaimed novel Twenty Boy Summer, a YALSA Teens' Top Ten nominee, a Kids' Indie Next List pick, and a New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association Book Award nominee. Unlike Delilah Hannaford, Sarah never cleaned gutters or painted fence posts as a teen, but she did pull a summer of estate-sale duty at her late grandmother's house, complete with an economy-size jar of Saint Bernard ashes and a priceless antique creamer shaped like a cow. Sarah now lives in Colorado, where she enjoys hiking up mountains, hugging trees, and talking to birds with her husband, Alex.

Critical Praise

Our Hip Scouts review Fixing Delilah!

I absolutely adored Fixing Delilah. It has a wonderful story line, It takes you on a journey where Delilah is learning about her family's past, and is finally finding herself and uncovering her own secrets that she doesn't even know about. It's a quick read, but is very fun and exciting. Sarah Ockler has done an amazing job once again.
-Tiffany, 13

I love it! I think Sarah Ockler has created a well-rounded story where she perfectly captures the conflict and stress that can emerge within a family when important secrets are kept. It has the perfect blend of romance, mystery and family drama to keep me glued to the page.
