Sheryl Sorrentino is also the author of The Floater. I enjoy Sorrentino’s witty writing style and wonder why such a gem in this literary world has not had her work turned into a movie or television series? Sorrentino’s work stands out because of her amazing ability to take risks that evoke intense reactions in the reader. Sorrentino boldly but sensitively addresses real life situations that have the reader engrossed in a dramatic and suspenseful plot. You would think that this would be a book by itself and then Sorrentino adds sexuality, 9/11, bigotry, racism and religion. Razia’s rebellion is something many young girls and mothers can relate to. Razia rebels and goes on a rousing journey to find her estranged father Aziz. Like many mothers, Sonya was forced to put her aspirations on hold to raise a child. Sonya is living vicariously through Razia and battling her own distressing demons from the past. This biracial 12 year-old preteen is being raised by her mother Sonya, who is also biracial. Sorrentino introduces us to individualistic performing arts student Razia. Stage Daughter tackles faith, sexuality, race and more (yes, more!). Her 4th and latest novel Stage Daughter stays in line with her previous work continuing to keep the reader engaged and connected to these interesting but fictional characters. It was through that experience that her passion and talent for writing bloomed and evolved into literary success. Acclaimed author Sheryl Sorrentino’s passion to write stemmed from a family tragedy.
