My name is Lisha Harris, and I’m the author of Sonshine After the Storm. The book shares my journey through infertility, miscarriages, and the ultimate joy of finally giving birth to my son, Liam. I originally thought I was alone in what I was going through, but once I started opening up to family and friends, I realized many others had walked a similar path. I had a great support system, including a dear friend named Kenda, who helped me advocate for myself with various doctors. I wanted to tell my story to help other women know they’re not alone. I’d been trying to write this book for over five years, but it always felt impossible—writing isn’t my strength. Then, Chronicle Associates came in. A project manager contacted me, explained the process, and assigned me a writer who immediately felt like a friend. The writer asked thoughtful questions that helped me open up and explore parts of my story I hadn’t planned to share. They helped me build the outline, go deeper emotionally, and shape everything into a manuscript. The editing process was easy and collaborative, and at no point did anything feel final or forced. The entire experience felt like I was telling my story to someone who truly cared.
