About this listen

Set in Salt Lake City in the late 1990s, Sharon by Annette F. Wilcox tells the poignant story of Sharon, a nine-year-old girl deeply affected by her father’s serious illness and her mother’s struggle to maintain normalcy, who finds solace in the warmth of her neighbor, Mrs. Harris’s, home. Over time, Mrs. Harris becomes a pivotal figure in Sharon’s life, providing care and emotional support during after-school hours. As Sharon’s bond with Mrs. Harris deepens, she begins to find moments of joy and safety amidst her challenging circumstances though underlying tension persists.

The story explores themes of childhood anxiety, resilience, and the power of intergenerational friendship and highlights the importance of compassion, community, and the small acts of kindness that can profoundly impact a child’s life. With its heartwarming portrayal of resilience, it underscores the value of hope and healing through connection and understanding.
